The Murmansk Region took the third place in the National Environmental Rating of Russian regions, which incorporates the events in the field of ecology held in the region from December 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024.
Moscow has overtaken the Arctic, becoming the leader of the rating. The Tambov region has become the second, severpost.ru reports.
The level of environmental safety in the Russian Arctic is increasing every year, as confirmed by the positioning of a number of Arctic regions in the National Environmental Rating.
"Since 2017, large-scale environmental protection measures have been held in the Murmansk Region, which objectively took third place in the rating: from environmental awareness campaigns, clean-up days and expeditions of the Clean Arctic project to the reclamation of unauthorized landfills and the construction of the world's largest wind farm beyond the Arctic Circle - the Kola wind farm," said Anastasia Faterina, the head regional Department of environmental initiatives.
