State management of financial support in the field of nature management and environmental protection as a strategic direction for the development of territories

Abstract

This study examines topical issues of the environmental tension in the regions, ensuring environmental safety, as well as increasing the anthropogenic impact on the environment as a result of the growth of industrial development and the increase in the amount of resources consumed in the socio-economic development of territories in the context of state regulation of nature management. The purpose of this study is to analyze the current legislation and assess the volume of financial support for activities aimed at ensuring environmental safety and environmental protection. As part of the study, the evolution of legislation in the field of environmental development and security of territories was studied, followed by an assessment of the dynamics of spending on the implementation of the national project «Ecology». The importance of developing a management mechanism in the field of nature management and environmental protection to improve the ecological situation of the territories is shown. On the basis of a complex indicator, the dynamics of the ranking of regions was assessed. The share of expenses of the consolidated budgets of the constituent entities of the Ural Federal District for environmental protection has been calculated and analyzed. It has been established that the costs of environmental protection and conservation activities are an important part of the costs of the regional budgets of the Russian Federation, although they are not a significant part of it. The rank of the regions that are part of the Ural Federal District is analyzed in terms of budget expenditures on environmental protection per capita among all subjects of the Russian Federation. Along with state regulation of the environmental sphere and building relationships with enterprises that use natural resources, in order to reduce environmental damage, the need to form an ecological culture of the population as a new way of life for people is reflected.
