Panel session

Elimination of accumulated environmental damage in the Arctic: on the way of business and government cooperation

Project*

 


During the years of human activity, the Arctic has undergone a strong anthropogenic impact. At present, 102 objects of accumulated harm to the environment have been identified on the territory of the Arctic zone. The problem of hazardous waste disposal and the elimination of accumulated environmental damage is given great attention in the framework of the Special Federal Program "Elimination of accumulated environmental damage" and "Clean country". However, an integrated solution to this problem is possible only if favorable conditions are created for business to participate in the clean-up of the Arctic.

Issues for discussion:

  • State policy in the field of liquidation of accumulated environmental damage objects
  • Improvement of legislation in the sphere of toughening of liability for abandoned objects, causing damage to the environment and determining the owner of such facilities
  • Elimination of accumulated damage from industrial and military activities in the Arctic zone
