Greening of Economic Processes and Transport

Abstract

The problem of sustainable development is considered in the context of greening the economy in general and transport in particular. The authors analyzed the ecological situation (in terms of greenhouse gas emissions) in a number of countries of the world and in Russia. The issues of the influence of various types of transport on the environment are studied. The analysis of the regions of Russia with the maximum emissions of pollutants from transport has been carried out. Due to ratification of the Paris climate agreement by the Russian Federation in 2019, the main priority areas of state policy aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions were considered. The authors analyzed the world experience in the implementation of environmental instruments and the requirements for a "green" economy and logistics, developed recommendations that include various groups of environmental instruments necessary for implementation in Russia. The environmental measures used in various industries of the Russian Federation are also considered. Specific measures implemented by railway transport to fulfill the tasks of the Development Strategy of the Russian Railways holding for the period up to 2030 are highlighted. Among such measures is introduction and development of piggyback transportation. The positive experience of European countries only helps Russia move towards greening the economy and transport.
