Abstract

The article addresses the problem of the current environmental crisis, which threatens the sustainable development of human civilization. As a result of further degradation of natural systems, the biosphere gets destabilized and loses its integrity, the large areas get devastated, and the quality of the environment necessary for life becomes unstable. The crisis can be overcome only by building a relationship of the human and the nature which does not leave room for destruction and degradation of the natural environment. Thus, scientific research, analysis and search for solutions to legal problems of ensuring environmental security in the regions of the Russian Federation acquire special relevance and practical significance and are the objectives of this work. Without theoretical understanding and scientific research of the elements of this system and, first of all, the regional system of legislative framework for environmental security and its features in the field of governance, it is impossible to achieve the necessary interaction of federal and regional systems and to solve the problem, since there remain fundamental causes and sources that generate the whole range of threats to ecological security.
