Environmental management and economics of the Arctic Region

Abstract

In the paper, the goals, priorities and objectives of the environmental safety planning and management in the Arctic are formulated. Pollutant emission dynamics in the Arctic regions for the period 2013-2017 and implementation of target indicators stipulated by the state program “Environmental Protection” are considered. The analysis of influence of performance of the major Arctic companies mainly developing mineral resources on environmental pollution during the period under consideration is carried out. It is shown that despite environmental finances and fully implemented environmental activities, the main environmental indicators practically have not improved. The proposals to improve the management of the environmental and economic system of the Arctic for sustainable development of the region are presented.
