The article deals with problems of improvement of state ecological management in Ukraine. The experience of state management in the field of ecology and nature management in the developed countries of the world, in particular in the European Union, is considered. The paper presents an analysis of the regulatory framework for international cooperation at the level of the states on ecology issues, dealing with a unified policy both in the field of nature protection and development, the legislative policy in the field of environment, environmental education and information. The index of environmental indicators used to measure environmental trends and progress and the ranking of countries on the priorities of environmental issues has been researched. It is determined that the position of Ukraine in the rating and the state of its environment dictate the need for immediate measures to improve the situation with the state of ecology in the country and the system of nature use. The analysis of normative-legal support of state management in the field of ecology and nature management in Ukraine is carried out. The functioning of the state system of ecological monitoring is investigated on three levels: national, regional and local levels. The analysis of indicators of ecological monitoring in Chernigov oblast concerning the pollution of atmospheric air, the hydrochemical state of water, management of the network of monitoring of coastal waters, control of soil contamination by agricultural land and radioactive contamination of the atmosphere have been carried out. The monitoring results identified the actual environmental problems, and the main causes of environmental problems in the region and in Ukraine. As a result of the studies of public administration in the field of ecology and nature management, proposals are being made to improve environmental management through the achievement of a number of goals, including: the formation of environmental values in society; ensuring sustainable development, ensuring the integration of environmental policy in the process of socio-economic development, reducing environmental risks, achieving a high level of socioeconomic development, and improving environmental management.
