Description
Summary:The article is devoted to the study of problematic issues of ensuring environmental safety in the Russian Federation as an urgent task of the state and society, on the solution of which the national security of the country and the possibility of its sustainable development largely depend. The role and importance of environmental safety in the system of national security of Russia is analyzed, the necessity of forming and implementing a long-term state policy in the field of environmental protection and rational use of natural resources is proved. On the basis of environmental monitoring data, the current state of the environment is characterized, especially in areas of intensive industrial production (the Urals, Siberia, the Arctic), negative anthropogenic factors are identified that violate the ecological balance in the territories of active resource extraction, and the environmental threats arising in this connection are analyzed. It is noted that in the context of increasing economic activity and global climate change, compliance with environmental safety requirements becomes a factor capable of ensuring sustainable economic development.
