Estimation of the Environment State and Ensuring Environmental Security in the Russian Arctic

Successful development of the whole country economy requires an increase in the rate of economic growth, including through the development and processing of natural resources of the Arctic, which can lead to negative effects on the environment. The Arctic macroregion plays an important role in prote...
