This study examines technical and economic approaches to managing ecological restructuring of production in Azerbaijan within the framework of sustainable regional development. An integrated economic-geographical approach is applied, considering natural resources, production structures, environmental pressures, investment, technological modernization, and environmental monitoring. System-structural, mathematical-statistical, GIS-based, and monitoring methods are used to assess the relationship between industrial development and environmental protection. The findings highlight the importance of efficient resource use, modernization of production technologies, closed-cycle and low-waste systems, emission reduction, and specialized treatment facilities. Particular attention is given to industrial and environmental conditions in the Absheron Peninsula, Baku, Sumgayit, and other production areas. The analysis indicates that technological modernization and water-reuse systems can reduce resource consumption and environmental pressure while improving production efficiency. The study concludes that effective ecological restructuring requires an integrated management framework combining technological innovation, resource efficiency, pollution prevention, environmental investment, scientifically based monitoring, and territorial planning.

Keywords: green bonds, public-private partnerships, renewable energy finance, resilience channels, investment risk
