Abstract
Environmental well-being is one of Russia's national development goals. Until 2024, the "Ecology" national project operated, which in 2025 was continued under a name corresponding to the name of the national goal. The article examines the federal documents that serve as the basis for environmental measures in Russia, and how they are approved. The article presents an analysis of the relationship between the national project, the state program and the federal project, as well as the relationship between the concepts of national purpose, national interest and strategic national priorities. Environmental objectives from different strategic planning documents are compared to determine the completeness of coverage of planned and implemented environmental objectives. It has been revealed that currently the legal foundations of the state's environmental projects are undergoing a stage of development in the direction of increasing efficiency, expressed in transparency, concreteness, certainty in time, measurability, and achievability of the goals set.
