The paper exposes the features and structure of institutional public administration support for the ongoing sustainable development strategies. The domains of sustainable development and national security are considered in their relationship, which accordingly determines the range of factors influencing these two areas. Green growth, green finance, and green human capital are covered in the analysis as factors influencing sustainability and security. Interpretive methods of abstraction, historical and logical analysis and synthesis, as well as methods of content analysis are applied. Effects of human capital on green growth, as the nexus between human capital and green growth, is paid particular attention. Findings allow stating that contemporary landscape of sustainability requires new public management competencies, which can be called “competencies of sustainable public management”, that can be shaped through the introduction of Agile methodology in public administration system from the top level to local level. Such an approach would lead to important shift in assessing effectiveness and efficiency of public administration, namely, substitution of financial ratios with sustainability ratios, including those indicating human capital development and national security maintenance.
