Analysis of Budget Expenditures of the Arctic Regions of Russia on Environmental Protection

Abstract

Analysis of the budget expenditures of the entities of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation on environmental protection has been presented. In this region, a special impact of the mining and fuel and energy industries on the environment has been noted, as well as significant accumulated damage and an increase in anthropogenic impact on it at a rate exceeding the growth of investment. The imbalance in the structure of the state environmental protection program in terms of its content has been displayed using the example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). It has been concluded that the contribution of the consolidated budgets of the constituent entities of the RF in financing environmental protection measures has been increasing over the past few years, however, existing sources of financing are not enough to implement the transition to sustainable development.
