The Russian Federation has the potential to create technologies to combat pollution of nature

Russia has the potential to independently develop and implement solutions to prevent pollution and eliminate accumulated environmental pollution. This opinion was expressed to TASS by Alexander Vorotnikov, Deputy Director General for Work with Experts of the Arctic Development Project Office (PORA), Associate Professor of the Department of Public Administration and Public Policy at the Institute of Social Sciences of the RANEPA.According to him, monitoring is necessary to prevent environmental pollution. "A project to create an integrated platform for environmental monitoring is still being developed in Russia. The new system will collect information about the state of the environment by combining data from several existing surveillance and automatic control systems installed at enterprises," he explained.The expert added that local environmental monitoring systems are already operating in different regions of Russia, in particular, in Kamchatka. Ecomonitoring systems have already been tested in Nizhny Novgorod, Dzerzhinsk, Tula, Kaliningrad, Saratov, Kaluga, Veliky Novgorod, Noyabrsk, as well as in KhMAO, Komi and Udmurtia.According to the expert, in order to implement technologies that reduce environmental pollution, it is also necessary to use the best available technologies that many companies make."The second direction is related to the implementation of technologies that reduce environmental pollution. These include the activities of the companies themselves, which purposefully demonstrate their sustainable development, as well as undergo ESG transformation. Bright examples are Norilsk Nickel, Polymetal," he added.
