“…№ 7-ФЗ «Об охране окружающей среды» (ФЗ № 7-ФЗ), позволяет определить как объекты защиты (природная среда и жизненно важные интересы человека), так и источники угроз (возможное негативное воздействие хозяйственной и иной деятельности, чрезвычайные ситуации природного и техногенного характера) [1]. Следует согласиться с тем, что как минимум несколько понятий из этого формального определения требуют пояснений и «легитимации», а четкие нормативно закрепленные критерии экологической безопасности отсутствуют, есть лишь относительные условия и категории, которые могут меняться во времени [2].…”

The article reveals the terminological content of the concept of «environmental safety». It is argued that environmental safety in the Arctic can and should be ensured by a system that includes legal, economic, technological and other measures applied in the present and future times. Taking into account the declared features of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, special approaches to legal assurance of environmental safety are determined. The use of a software approach in the field of environmental protection and environmental management in the Arctic is being analyzed. It is proposed to adopt a special law «On environmental protection of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation», taking into account the features of vulnerable arctic ecosystems.

“…In this regard, an increasing number of experts declare that the production and transportation of hydrocarbons in the Arctic contradicts the environmental dimension of sustainable development and violates the fundamental requirement not to endanger the natural systems that support life on Earth [19,67]. Russian researchers recognize the importance of oil and gas production for the country's economy, while also noting the potential danger of the implementation of large-scale production and infrastructure projects for the sustainable development of the Arctic [68].…”

Following the principles of sustainable development in the development of oil and gas fields in the Arctic will ensure that hydrocarbon production and transportation operations comply with stringent environmental regulations, the economies of the northern regions become integrated into the national economy of Russia, production systems in the oil and gas sector are upgraded in an innovative manner, and further development of this region is balanced from the environmental perspective. The purpose of the study is to develop and provide a rationale for a balanced system of environmental, socio-economic, and innovative indicators for assessing whether the development of the Arctic’s unique hydrocarbon reserves is sustainable. The theoretical framework of the study draws upon the foundations and key principles of the sustainable development concept and upon modern approaches and methods for assessing the sustainability of production systems. The study presents an analysis of conceptual approaches to defining sustainable development in reference to oil and gas resources, including those found in the Arctic, defines target priorities for the sustainable development of the Arctic’s resource potential, and identifies the relationship between the environmental, socio-economic, and innovative domains of sustainability in the context of Arctic resource development. The results of the study demonstrate how large-scale gas projects can influence regional development and provide for making informed conclusions about whether the development of the Arctic’s oil and gas reserves can be considered sustainable (in accordance with the basic principles of the sustainable development concept).

The subject of this research is a set of legal norms that regulate social relations in the area of prevention and response to accidental spills of petroleum products. The goal of this work consists in formulation of theoretical and practical conclusions and recommendations aimed at the improvement of legal regulation in this sphere. The relevance of the selected topic is defined by the fact that accidental spills of hydrocarbons is an urgent concern for the Russian Federation. The official data indicates over 17,000 accidents occurred at enterprises of the fuel and energy complex in 2019. The due regulation of prevention and response to spills of petroleum products is definitely one crucial elements in ensuring environmental security of the Russian Federation. The article examines the legal support issues with regards to prevention and response to accidental spills of petroleum products. Based on the analysis of the effective legislation, the author makes a number of conclusions and recommendation. It is noted that the norms regulating the relations in this sphere are for the most part dedicated to the issues of localization and elimination of the spills of petroleum products, i.e. measures taken after the spill. Such crucial problem as the prevention of spills of petroleum products and environmental damage is not given due attention in the legislation. The author also formulates the principle of advanced development of environmental legislation, according to which the legislative and technical regulation of the activity posing heightened risk to the environment and (or) associated with the use of natural resources should be proactive.
