Environmental Safety in the National Security System of the Russian Federation: Origin, Development, and Current State

INTRODUCTION. Ensuring environmental safety is a key area of activity for a modern state, and the existence of the state directly depends on its implementation. At the current stage of society's development, developing a clear and structured national mechanism for implementing activities in this area has become as important as ensuring military and economic security. In recent decades, the Russian Federation has clearly adopted a policy of greening production, taking measures to ensure environmental safety, and implementing the fundamental constitutional right to a favorable environment. During his participation in the forum as part of the 9th Nevsky International Environmental Congress, Vladimir Putin emphasized: "In Russia, the issues of careful and efficient use of natural resources, ensuring environmental safety, and improving the quality of people's lives are among the key government priorities.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. This study uses the works of both Russian and foreign specialists in the field of international environmental and international maritime law. The study uses general scientific methods of cognition, such as analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction. It also uses special legal methods, such as formal legal methods, technical legal methods, the method of legal analogy, and the comparative legal method.
RESEARCH RESULTS. The article analyzes theoretical concepts of environmental security from various perspectives. The article analyzes the process of formation, establishment, and development of the concept of environmental safety in the Russian Federation, identifies innovations, and highlights the problems existing in our country regarding ensuring environmental safety and implementing environmental legislation in the field of protecting and preserving the environment and all its components.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The environmental situation around the world, and in Russia in particular, requires urgent measures to halt the rapid deterioration of all environmental components, which is largely caused by human activities, such as wasteful use of natural resources, inefficient land use, and the pursuit of economic gain. Humanity is facing a complex challenge of reconciling its growing needs with the limited capacity of the biosphere to meet them.
