The pandemic is one of those contemporary world challenges that today poses a global deadly threat to all mankind. Addressing the pandemic and ensuring human health through the lens of legal environmental safety seems to be timely. Adverse sanitary and epidemiological conditions, among other reasons, may arise out of the lack of a well-founded legal framework supporting the realization of the constitutional right of citizens to a favourable environment. The purpose of this article is to show the role of environmental security in preventing the sanitary and epidemiological crisis and ensuring public health. The article tried to analyse how environmental norms, rules of food and household hygiene were justified in the oldest monument of the Tajik people - Avesta, how the Zoroastrian religion explained the need to ensure sanitary and epidemiological safety of society and human health. Currently legal regulation of environmental protection and safeguarding public health attaches particular importance to such categories as health , life and safety . The last concept is increasingly filled with medical content worldwide. This is due to the fact that the category security is generally universal, and its application in legislation, obviously, implies certain reasons and consequences. The article briefly analyses the legal policy of the Republic of Tajikistan in the field of environmental legislation and public health. Mechanisms and directions for improving the current legislation in the field of environmental protection have been studied, and legal decisions on ensuring public health have been considered.

On the basis of the analysis of the current state and trends in the development of environmental management, the main directions for the development of environmentally oriented processes, priorities and main objectives of environmental policy are identified. The article highlights the current problems in the legal regulation of environmental protection, environmental safety and environmental management. The conclusion is drawn about a certain isolation of the ecological and economic policy of Russia, denoting the need to strengthen their integration among themselves, which will be the basis for successfully entering the sustainable development trajectory in the medium term. There have been emphasized the main reasons of the problems related to environmental security in Russia and given information on life expectancy for a certain period of time. The main reason of crisis state of affairs in environmental security and environmental management is unpreparedness of economic conditions for stimulating environmental protection activities of the Russian companies. To restore and enhance the life-supporting conditions of nature, on the basis of adequate compensation for damage to ecosystems, the basic concepts of the equilibrium interaction of companies with the environment have been developed. The concept implies adequate compensation for damage caused to nature by determining the rational ratio between production levels and consumed resources. Based on the concept developed by the authors, an environmentally oriented model of integrated management of Russian companies has been created, the main difference between which from existing international ISO standards and their analogues, is the complex integration of environmental aspects into the organization's management system, which allows to take into account the environmental component at all stages of the life cycle. The introduction of an environmentally oriented model of integrated management in Russian companies will allow for the effective environmental transformation of the management system, which will serve as the basis for improving the environmental acceptability of their activities.

The paper discusses the current problems of the Russian environmental law related to the need of improving the mechanism for the legal regulation of environmental activities in the Russian Federation. The authors emphasize importance of environmental problems and need for serious systematic work of state bodies, as well as participation of civil society to solve them. The need for an organizational and legal framework, which should be the foundation of all nature protection activities, is noted. Analyzing the state of environmental legislation, the authors conclude that, despite a large number of regulatory acts, the environmental and legal mechanism of the Russian state is not entirely effective. Justifying their position, the authors focus their attention on technical, legal and theoretical problems of the mechanism of legal regulation of nature protection activities. Among the existing problems, the authors highlight systemic problems of environmental legislation, the essence of which is the duplication and absence of internal unity of regulatory material. The reasons for this are chaotic work of the legislator and the lack of a single long-term plan for his work in the field of environmental protection. In addition to the above-mentioned problem, there is another problem of interpretation of such terms as "environmental safety", "ensuring environmental safety" and " environmental protection". All have been well analyzed. The need for resolving these issues for the practice of environmental activities, as well as their academic significance, is explained. The paper presents doctrinal points of view, as well as the author's position on the causes of some debatable issues in the scientific environment. The authors propose a solution. The features of the legislative consolidation of the terms of "environmental protection" and "ensuring environmental safety" are noted. According to the authors, it does not contribute to the development of a unified opinion on their correlation and creates the prerequisites for further discussions. In general, the authors conclude on imperfection of the legal mechanism regulating relations in the sphere of environmental protection.

The main components of the legal nature of environmental impact assessment are considered as management functions in the field of environmental protection, rational use of natural resources and ensuring environmental safety due to the fact that the reasons for the current unsatisfactory state in the industry of natural resource use, environmental protection are ambiguous. It was determined that the legal regulation of environmental impact assessment should be considered an important step towards the harmonization of Ukrainian legislation with EU legislation in the field of environmental impact assessment. The procedural and rocedural aspects of environmental impact assessment are determined and reviewed, which are determined by a number of legislative and subordinate legal acts. It has been established that environmental impact assessment should be carried out in compliance with certain principles based on the provisions of current legislation on nature protection. The principle of the effectiveness of environmental impact assessment is analyzed through the prism of prohibiting or terminating the activity of an enterprise in case of violation of the legislation on environmental impact assessment. Attention is drawn to the legal requirements of the principle of reliability of information in relation to environmental impact assessment. The compulsory provision of the principle of publicity in the process of impact on the environment, aimed at timely, adequate and effective informing of citizens, has been established. It is proved that the publicity and reliability of environmental information on environmental impact assessment act as two interrelated legal categories. It has been determined that the legal nature of the environmental impact assessment is based on the provisions of the current legislation of Ukraine and is aimed at observing law and order in the field of environmental protection.

Although there is no separate law in our country directly regulate the activities of startups, there are dozens of laws that indirectly cover this area. It is natural that the existing legal framework in this area will serve as a legal regulator in the development of startups in the country and the formation of a national innovation system. Today, the models of developed countries in the legal regulation of innovative activities are used as an example by many developing countries.

The article examines the issues of legal protection of human life and health in the latest globalisation processes, which have covered all spheres of political, economic, financial, social, geographical and cultural life and are becoming a basic factor of humanity on the planet. These processes set new trends in the ecological development of the state, redefine the problems of environmental security due to the changing nature of the challenges and threats facing humanity. The unfavourable state of the environment and the need to ensure environmental safety require the adoption of adequate legal, organisational and other measures. It is believed that in these conditions a human, his life and health should be at the centre of the mechanism of legal regulation of protection and defence, environmental safety, especially the establishment of the legal status of citizens affected by the negative consequences of environmental danger and guarantees of such citizens. The state has a number of obligations to human to create conditions for his “environmental comfort”. Such obligations should be reflected in the environmental legislation of the respective states. Recently, urban areas have been becoming threatening, the uncontrolled expansion of which inevitably leads to disruption of the normal functioning of the biogeotic cover of the planet, and consequently – a negative impact on health and life of mankind and especially that part of it living in large cities or other cities. It turns out that the general unfavourable state of the environment makes new demands on environmental security, which in the context of globalisation and internalisation of environmental problems is becoming a dominant factor in global security, as the environmental situation worsens, requiring effective policies to improve it.
