Abstract
Aim. To consider the issues of ensuring environmental safety in national and international law. To identify the problems that arise in the field of environmental safety, based on the analysis of legal regulation in the Russian Federation, the doctrine of environmental law in the national law of Russia and international law.
Methodology. The definitions of environmental safety in national and international law are studied with the use of the formal-legal method as well as the criteria that are its important component. In addition, logical and comparative legal methods of legal regulation were used.
Results. In the course of this study, some key factors influencing the provision of environmental security are considered. Its role as one of the activities of the public authorities of Russia and its subjects through the prism of concepts, plans and programs indicates the absence of a detailed delineation between the powers of the public authorities of Russia and its subjects, which thereby creates problems in the field of environmental safety at the national level. It was revealed that not all acts of the regional level fix the activities carried out by public authorities to ensure environmental safety, which thereby creates legal uncertainty. Having studied the issues of environmental security in the international law, the conclusion was made that in modern states the emphasis is placed to a greater extent on the interaction of environmental security and emerging threats and challenges for all mankind.
Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the theory of environmental law, to the legislative improvement of measures in the field of ensuring environmental safety at the regional level, and also provide a basis for the subsequent study of the definition of environmental safety in the doctrine of environmental law.
