Abstract
The current state of environmental safety in Russia is described in the article. It is shown that the regulatory documents related to environmental safety are not fully harmonized. The article analyzes the results of social surveys of the population, reflecting the importance of the environmental situation in their places of residence. The shortcomings in the implementation of economic and institutional policies affecting environmental safety are considered. Based on the current environmental situation, the goal and priorities in the field of environmental safety are formulated. It is proposed to improve the legislation in the field of environmental protection and environmental management, taking into account the support for the development of environmentally friendly technologies and products. The economic stimulation of environmental safety, including the rationale for the use of ecological and economic criteria for economic decisionmaking is considered. The ways of creating the industry of utilization of harmful waste taking into account the union of the enterprises for production of the equipment for waste processing, the enterprises for waste processing and also the subjects applying waste and products of their processing as raw materials in technological processes are offered. The article considers the ways of increasing the energy efficiency of buildings and the impact of this increase on environmental safety, including the rationale for improving the energy efficiency of buildings by reducing the need for electricity and heat. The organizational measures of ecologically safe “green” economic growth are proposed taking into account the analysis of the best foreign practices. It is shown that the success of “green” growth in South Korea is due, in particular, to the political will of the country's leadership. It is proved that progressive provision of ecological safety is possible only on the way of system transformations in ecological and economic development of Russia.
