Legal policy in the field of environmental safety of the Russian Federation as a tool for achieving the sustainable development goals
The relevance of the article is due to the objective aggravation of environmental disasters in Russia and the need to develop appropriate mechanisms to improve the effectiveness of state and legal decisions, which minimize the likelihood of natural and man-made threats and ensure the implementation of sustainable development goals. The aim is to assess the state of the legal policy in the field of ensuring environmental safety of the Russian Federation as a regulatory mechanism for implementing ideas, programs and strategies. Research methods used: analysis, systematic approach, comparative legal method and method of interpretation of legal norms. As a result of the study, the author concludes that the current regulatory acts of the Russian Federation do not fully provide a systematic approach to the implementation of environmental safety policy in the context of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and therefore some directions for its further development are formulated.
