Actual Problems of Development of Russian Regions: Ecology and Law
Abstract
The subject of the study is the relationship between the Russian regions and the Federal Center for Environmental Policy and environmental protection. The purpose of the work is to establish the expediency of expanding the legal framework of the subjects of the Russian Federation to solve environmental problems, taking into account the specifics of the regions and the possibilities of socio-economic development. The impact of existing and developing national projects aimed at solving environmental problems is considered, the need to expand the capabilities of regions/subjects, taking into account regional peculiarities of environmental policy, to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the 2036 national development goals is justified. It is shown that municipalities play an indispensable role in the implementation of the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities living in fragile aquatic ecosystems and native habitats. It is proposed to consider as a priority the acceleration of the transition of Russia and other major emitters of CO2 emissions to comply with the deadlines set by UN documents. It is noted that high-quality healthy ecology is not only a global public, but also a national and territorial good, measures to protect which must be provided for when developing new national projects «Environmental well-being» and «Infrastructure for Life». It is concluded that in Russian statistics it is advisable to expand the reporting system on the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals related to environmental protection. It is proposed to consider cooperation in countering threats to environmental balance as the main direction of cross-border cooperation between Russian regions and territories of neighboring countries.
