Legal regulation of environmental safety on the territory of the Eurasian economic spaces (for example, Russia and Kazakhstan)

Abstract

The relevance of this article is determined by the need to improve the legal regulation of environmental safety of Russia in Russia and Kazakhstan. The author proceeds from the fact that the ecological situation observed on the territory of the member countries of the Common Economic Space is assessed by leading ecologists as very difficult. At the same time, regardless of the political views of the states of the Eurasian region, their activities in the field of environmental safety require clear legal regulation. The author notes that during the existence of the Eurasian Economic Union, the issues of environmental protection, prevention of the negative impact of economic activity have not received proper regulation. Thus, the author believes that the concept of “environmental safety” should be considered as a system of political, legal, economic, organizational measures aimed at protecting the natural environment and humans from the negative impact of economic and other activities, natural and man-made emergencies. A comparative legal analysis of the regulation of environmental safety issues in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation has been carried out.
