Environmental safety at the current stage of development

In modern society, the status of security problems has changed, due to the impact of different levels of threats: global, regional and national, natural, man-made and increasingly environmental ones. Irresponsible and consumerist attitude to the environment puts the problems of ensuring environmental safety as paramount for public administration. Given the current environmental situation, the problem of environmental pollution should be given no less attention than the problems of economics, politics, etc. The consequences of man-made disasters, environmental pollution and irrational nature management lead to irreversible negative results. Directly or indirectly, this will affect the economic, social and other spheres of society. The article assesses the current state of environmental safety in the Russian Federation. Almost all the studied indicators either decrease slightly or remain unchanged during the study period. The amount of emissions of pollutants is growing in proportion to the development of industry. The authors put forward proposals to improve the environmental safety of Russia, which ultimately, through the impact on the environment, should have the effect of improving the quality of life.
