This article examines the issues and problems of ecology and climate change that concern an increasing number of people. In Russia, in particular, the attention of Russian companies and the government to the problem is increasing. Green finance is a tool that allows for a carbon transition to a green economy, providing extra-budgetary sources of funding for projects that provide this transition. To facilitate the transition of business to the principles of sustainable development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation has supplemented the compensation program for green bonds with green loans, and banks are developing new mechanisms to provide companies with a clear tool for cofinancing environmental projects.

The article analyzes the participation of the Russian Federation in international cooperation on the climate change prevention. Global climate change in terms of its impact on world economy is presented as a catalyst for multidirectional shifts in many sectors of economy. The adoption of international documents such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992), the Kyoto Protocol (1997), the Paris Agreement (2015), and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2015) are viewed as vital steps for regulating international cooperation in this sphere. Analyzing the provisions of the 2020 Climate Doctrine of the Russian Federation (2009), the authors emphasize the aspiration for international political and economic integration and deep economic interest in modernization as main factors, affecting Russian climate policy strategy. One of the mechanisms of implementing state policy in the field of environmental safety is the adoption of state regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and the consideration of these measures in the development of longterm strategies for socio-economic development. The authors urge for creating regional strategies for climate change prevention with necessary adjustment and adaptation to a specific region or constituent entity of the Russian Federation. In presenting the research results, the concept of “global warming potential” and the role of managing this potential in achieving sustainable development goals are disclosed. The authors argue that a significant contribution to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions is made by the production activities of the energy sector. Based on the data of the largest international companies (Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, BP, PetroChina, Shell, Gazprom, LUKOIL, Rosneft), directions for reducing their negative environmental impact were determined, including the classification of tools for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. International practice analysis forms the necessary ground to elaborate the most promising modern tools for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by Russian oil and gas companies.

The idea of sustainable development of the territory lies in the rational use of existing resources in the process of creating a platform where one can improve the level and long-term quality of life. Indicator systems are an integral element of the implementation of planned regional development measures, since any program document needs an up-to-date monitoring and evaluation system. The relevance of this research lies in the need to identify the indicators that reflect the priorities and problems of sustainable development of resort areas, and in the need to develop common indicators of sustainability for territories of tourist and recreational purposes. The aim of the study was to analyze existing methods for assessing the sustainability of the development of resort areas, analysis and evaluation of indicators and their impact on sustainable development of the resort area on the example of the Krasnodar region.As a result of the study, we examined custom approaches in assessing sustainable development of resort regions, as well as the methods of the UNWTO and the Government of the Russian Federation (as part of strategic planning). The features of resort areas and the main elements of their development are revealed in the research. It is noted that many indicators are currently being used (most of them of the same type - economic and social) and as a result many aspects of the territorial development remain unexamined. It is proved that in order to ensure the sustainable development of resort areas in the constituent units of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to develop a system of indicators that takes into account existing international experience and the specifics of the economic, social and environmental conditions of the Russian regions.

One of the main UN Summit 2015 outcomes is the adoption of global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) built on achievements of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to guide the path of sustainable development in the world after 2015. World leaders gathered at the United Nations to take responsibility for the implementation of 17 Sustainable Development Goals – a truly universal and transformative global development agenda. The article analyzes main common features and distinctions of SDGs and MDGs. It addresses priorities for the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development and primary SDG targets. The SDGs are intended to go beyond the MDGs and apply in general terms to all countries, including developed states, emerging economies and developing countries. At the same time, examining the main achievements of MDGs on national and international levels, the authors stress their importance. SDGs provide a framework for every country to create focused and effective implementation strategies and plans within its own domestic context. The article demonstrates the importance for Russian Federation under its UN obligations to elaborate two documents: Sustainable Development Strategy of the Russian Federation and the 2030 SDGs adapted to national priorities. The authors develop main principles of SDGs adaptation to national priorities, conditionally dividing them into two groups: "internal" (combating poverty, education, health, sustainable production and consumption) – Russia has to realize them drawing on its own potential, and "external" (combating climate change, enhancing a global partnership for sustainable development) – Russia can play an important role in the world coordinating with other countries. The article, while demonstrating the importance of climate change issues for Russia after weather and climatic anomalies caused huge social, economic and ecological damages, discusses possible economic tools, such as carbon taxes, introducing the price of carbon, Stock Exchange for carbon trading. The article investigates two large components of global partnership support in international policy of the Russian Federation: financing the assistance to the international development, and forgiveness of considerable debts to developing countries.

The article discusses the issues of control over the expenditure of funds in the implementation of national goals. The author refers to the documents that regulate this area of activity, connects their main provisions with public administration, shows how the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation participates in the audit of budget expenditures and thereby contributes to the sustainable development of the country, the formation of effective public administration systems. In 2019, the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation analyzed the progress of 8 of 13 national projects and identified significant risks that affect the achievement of the planned results. The audit results indicate systemic management weaknesses. Based on the analysis, the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation offered the Government of the Russian Federation to transform the internal financial audit of chief administrators of budget funds into an internal audit of the activities of state bodies. Regarding the main goal-setting of the internal audit, it is proposed to determine the tasks of analyzing the achievement of goals and assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of budget funds. The Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation has proposed to the Government of the Russian Federation to transform the internal financial audit of chief administrators of budget funds into an internal audit of the activities of state bodies. The author emphasizes that only an effective multi-level audit system will not only raise the implementation of national projects to the proper level, but also make a significant contribution to the achievement of the country's sustainable development goals. Combining the efforts of all interested parties will allow us to adequately meet the challenges of the time and ensure high-quality achievement of national goals set by the President of the Russian Federation.

The Russian Federation has a huge potential for the development of agricultural production. Sustainable agricultural development is the basis for ensuring the country's food security. The 2030 Rural Territories Sustainable Development Strategy of the Russian Federation emphasizes the necessity to develop environmentally determined agriculture strengtheninig the sustainability of ecosystems and sustaining life and activities of rural dwellers. The subject of the article is the importance of bioenergy as one of the promising areas of generating electricity from renewable sources for the sustainable development of agriculture, as well as its role in reducing the negative impact on the environment of agricultural production. Bioenergy as one of the high-tech components of the green economy allows us to ensure the return of organic agricultural waste to the production cycle. Thus, the development of bioenergy can make a significant contribution to solving the problem of agricultural waste disposal and at the same time provide rural regions with heat and energy, which is especially important for remote regions of the country with poorly developed infrastructure. At the same time, the need to attract initial investment is one of the main problems that prevent the widespread introduction of bioenergy facilities in our country. In the last decade, a number of positive developments have taken place in the field of legal regulation of renewable energy in the Russian Federation. Only through the development of legal regulation, taking into account the current Russian and foreign experience, can we create a truly effective renewable energy industry in the country – bioenergy, which will simultaneously solve the problems of environmental protection in agriculture.

The article is devoted to the approaches to achieve sustainable development of the Arctic territories. Measuring sustainability is one of the important aspects in the formation of state and corporate policies. Sustainable development of the region requires to solve three issues: 1) to improve the quality of life of the population; 2) to reduce social inequality; 3) to reduce the anthropogenic pressure on ecosystems. The article analyzes two author’s methods: compiling a sustainable development rating of the Russian Federation’s regions, fully or partially included in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, and companies operating in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (Polar Index); development of a sustainable development rating for the regions and companies of the Barents Euro-Arctic Region (Barents-Polar Index). These studies will be useful to representatives of companies and the leadership of the Russian regions to move towards sustainable development based on the “green” economy.

The article presents current and prospective estimates of the climatic changes parameters and their contradictory impact on the productivity of the agrifood system in the country’s southern regions. In the period up to 2030-2050, against the background of an increase in heat supply and duration of crop season, a mixed arid-humid type of moistening will have been predicted with an increase in aridization towards an increase in the frequency of droughts, including soil ones, as well as increased harmfulness of certain types of agricultural pests and pathogens. A new climate-adapted paradigm of sustainable development of the agrifood system in the South of Russia, based on Climate-Smart Agriculture, is proposed. The priority measures of climatic adaptation of the agrifood system in the South of Russia are grounded in connection with the growth of the spacing of winter crops, heat-loving, fruit and berry crops, vineyards; water-saving and moisture-retaining technologies; phytosanitary measures for the prevention and control of climate-dependent pests; agrotechnical methods of increasing the adaptive potential of crops to climate change; climate-adaptive schemes for the use of pastures; engineering of highly productive and climate-resistant agrophytocenoses and agroecosystems. Measures to stimulate climatic adaptation of the agrifood system in the South of the Russian Federation should involve the development and inclusion in the sectoral State Program of the Russian Federation of the Adaptation of Agriculture of the Constituent Entities of the South of the Russian Federation to Climate Change pilot section with an annual competition of regional agro-climatic projects based on budget COFUND; financing farms for the implementation of climate-adapted and related agricultural activities, climate insurance.
