Legal Regulation of Strategic Public Administration in the Field of Environmental Protection (on the Example of the Subjects of the Ural Federal District)

Abstract

In this article, the author, using content analysis based on the formal legal method, investigated strategic planning documents in the field of environmental protection at the federal level, as well as in the subjects of the Russian Federation located on the territory of the Ural Federal District. Based on the results of their analysis, the author concludes that the existing system of strategic management in the field of environmental protection includes at the federal level the decrees of the President of the Russian Federation on national development goals and development objectives, the Environmental Safety Strategy and the national project "Ecology. At the level of the subjects of the Russian Federation, it includes strategies for the socio-economic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation, state programs of the subjects of the Russian Federation (in the field of creating a favorable environment) and regional projects in this area. The author also notes that the period of implementation of state programs in the field of environmental protection differs in different subjects of the Russian Federation, and also differs from the period of implementation of national development goals and socio-economic development strategies of the relevant subjects of the Russian Federation, which requires adjustments for the harmonious development of the strategic management system. Also, according to the author, the fifth paragraph of Article 6 of Federal Law No. 7-FZ of January 10, 2002 requires correction, since it does not correspond to the provision of paragraph 8 of part 1 of Article 44 of Federal Law No. 414-FZ of December 21, 2021, which establishes the authority of the subjects of the Russian Federation to organize and implement regional and inter-municipal programs and projects in the field of environmental protection and environmental safety.
