Abstract Sustainable development has increasingly entered into the Arctic context. For Russia, the Arctic means enormous natural resources and potential for the country’s social and economic well-being. The focus of this paper is the dynamics of environmental and Arctic legislation in Russia; attention is also given to the rationale and justification of legal implications of sustainable development in the Russian Arctic. Specifically, it discusses barriers in transitioning to sustainable development and estimates relevant legal tools used over the last three decades applicable to the Arctic territories. The general idea is that despite strong political will to promote sustainable development, Russia’s unstable economy has impeded the country’s sustainability development objectives. Consequently, resource-based development is prioritized over environmental concerns and puts environmentally fragile territories, like the Arctic, at great risk. The research methods include context analysis of the Russian federal and regional laws and contextual interviews at the federal and regional government levels. The results of the research are the identification of achievements and deficiencies in the rule of law related to sustainable development of the Russian Arctic as well as policy recommendations for public authorities. The paper outlines that as long as Russian legislation lacks specific rules addressing sustainability in the Russian Arctic, it would be difficult for the government to implement international principles of sustainable development across this territory.

俄罗斯北极地区的可持续发展:法律含义

摘要可持续发展已越来越多地进入北极环境。对于俄罗斯来说,北极意味着巨大的自然资源和对该国的社会和经济福祉的潜力。本文的重点是俄罗斯环境和北极立法的动态;还关注了俄罗斯北极地区可持续发展的法律含义的理由和理由。具体而言,它讨论了向可持续发展过渡的障碍,并估计了过去三十年来适用于北极地区的相关法律工具。总体思路是,尽管有强烈的政治意愿促进可持续发展,但俄罗斯不稳定的经济却阻碍了该国的可持续发展目标。所以,基于资源的开发优先于环境问题,并使北极等环境脆弱的地区面临巨大风险。研究方法包括对俄罗斯联邦和地区法律的背景分析以及在联邦和地区政府层面的背景访谈。研究的结果是确定与俄罗斯北极地区可持续发展有关的法治方面的成就和不足,以及对公共当局的政策建议。该文件概述,只要俄罗斯立法缺乏解决俄罗斯北极地区可持续性的具体规则,政府将很难在该地区实施可持续发展的国际原则。风险很大。研究方法包括对俄罗斯联邦和地区法律的背景分析以及在联邦和地区政府层面的背景访谈。研究的结果是确定与俄罗斯北极地区可持续发展有关的法治方面的成就和不足,以及对公共当局的政策建议。该文件概述,只要俄罗斯立法缺乏解决俄罗斯北极地区可持续性的具体规则,政府将很难在该地区实施可持续发展的国际原则。风险很大。研究方法包括对俄罗斯联邦和地区法律的背景分析以及在联邦和地区政府层面的背景访谈。研究的结果是确定与俄罗斯北极地区可持续发展有关的法治方面的成就和不足,以及对公共当局的政策建议。该文件概述,只要俄罗斯立法缺乏解决俄罗斯北极地区可持续性的具体规则,政府将很难在该地区实施可持续发展的国际原则。研究的结果是确定与俄罗斯北极地区可持续发展有关的法治方面的成就和不足,以及对公共当局的政策建议。该文件概述,只要俄罗斯立法缺乏解决俄罗斯北极地区可持续性的具体规则,政府将很难在该地区实施可持续发展的国际原则。研究的结果是确定与俄罗斯北极地区可持续发展有关的法治方面的成就和不足,以及对公共当局的政策建议。该文件概述,只要俄罗斯立法缺乏解决俄罗斯北极地区可持续性的具体规则,政府将很难在该地区实施可持续发展的国际原则。
