Abstract
The article examines the current state of innovation and its impact on environmental performance in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Innovation helps to accelerate the economy’s transition to broad-based environmental sustainability. Innovation helps businesses adapt to changing conditions. The analysis of domestic and foreign studies confirms the direct relationship between innovation and environmental objectives of enterprises and territories. In the course of the study, statistical methods of analysis were used, as well as a ranking method. The data of the Federal State Statistics Service on a number of indicators of innovation activity and the environment for 2010 and 2019 for all constituent entities of Russia were considered. MS Excel was used to process the primary information. The results obtained indicate a slight improvement in innovation activity in Russian regions over the study period. Also, during this period, the country has improved indicators on emissions of pollutants into the air from stationary sources, and on discharges of contaminated wastewater into surface water bodies. However, not all major environmental pollutants are ready to invest in innovative projects, or their innovative activities do not affect the ecological situation in the regions. In regions leading in terms of environmental pollution, innovative indicators are significantly inferior to the all-Russian ones. This situation does not contribute to the transition of these subjects of the country to a low-carbon economy. It is necessary to form in the regions of Russia platforms for “green” interaction of participants in innovation processes, which can be indicated in regional development programs. It is also important to create conditions for the activities of collaborations on joint research in the field of environmental protection, energy and climatology in order to develop and scale up low-carbon technologies.
