Abstract

In Russia system of public environmental control is picking up momentum these days. It manages social relations in the field of environmental protection and rational use of natural resources. But it is not unique. It sometimes plays a crucial role, as in the case of diesel spillage in Norilsk in May 2020, but sometimes not. Natural resources have been developed all over the world for centuries with minimal environmental control. This is largely due to the fact that the adverse impact on the environment was not understood and assessed in the way it is now, and at that time the available technologies could not always prevent or control damage to the environment. The result of such unfavourable effect contaminated soils and water, flora and fauna, landscape and many others change. This article is devoted to the issues of improving the system of state and public control of environmental protection.
