Why Has the GREEN Topic Become State Strategy

Summary

On April 20, 2017, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin adopted the Environmental Security Strategy of the Russian Federation until 2025. The Strategy gives a strict assessment to environmental conditions in Russia: 74% of people live on the territory hazarded by negative impact of transport, energy and manufacturing. 89% wastewaters do not get filtered before getting discharged into the river or filtered poorly. 30-40% of people use polluted water. 4 billion tons of waste products accumulate per year further to 30 billion tons that have already existed. Russia’s GDP falls by 3-4 % per year due to environmental problems.

Challenges to discuss:

- Does the Government Action Plan have enough recourse to achieve the Environmental Security Strategy goals?
- What economic mechanisms and institutional schemes will provide widespread implementation of the ecologically effective technologies in all Russian economic branches?
- What are the future changes in the recycling system?
- How to encourage manufacturers to use "green" technologies?
- What kinds of measures are taken to support public organizations, involved in providing environmental safety at the federal and regional levels?
