Abstract

In recent decades, the speed of transformation of logistics infrastructure facilities has radically changed in Russia and its regions. The transformation of the logistics infrastructure led to the widespread use of artificial material means and resource-intensive production, the depletion of non-renewable natural resources, which led to the deterioration of the ecological state of the environment. Such development of systems is characterized by specialists as a technogenic type of ecological and economic management. Human activity in the context of the development of an economic system of a technogenic type leads to the destruction of the biosphere, environmental pollution and the destruction of the ecology of territories. The data of the state report “On the state and protection of the environment of the Russian Federation in 2019”, formed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation, indicate a high degree of environmental pollution in the Russian Federation with a positive trend towards reduction. A possible solution to the problem of environmental pollution in the development of the logistics infrastructure of the region is to refer to world practices, namely to the concept of sustainable development. The basis of this concept lies in the sustainable development of all spheres of human life by maintaining a balance between the ecological, economic, social, cultural development of the region and the needs of people, in terms of efficient use of natural resources, energy-saving and environmental technologies, support of society, development of human resources, support of features cultural potential, preserving the integrity of the environment and biosphere for future generations.
