The article raises the question of the need to introduce into legal circulation the term «environmental accounting», which has existed in economics since the 70s of the twentieth century, and in environmental law - under the name «state accounting in the field of environment». As for domestic legislation, there is no unifying for many types of cadasters, registers, registers, reports, etc. information of ecological nature name. It is established that in the system of domestic legislation the legal regulation, within the outlined subject, is subject to cadasters of natural resources, the account of objects harmful to environment, the account of substances harmful to environment, and also factors of harmful influence on environment (chemical, physical, biological). Unfortunately, many of these credentials are closed, incomplete, or non-existent. At the same time, at the international and European level, these processes are developing rapidly and today there is a need to expand such data by including in the relevant accounting resources information and issued permits for the use of natural resources, payment of environmental fees, fines, environmentally friendly products, etc. Based on this, a proposal is made on the need to systematize domestic legislation on environmental accounting, by developing and adopting a special legal act that would meet international and European requirements in this area. There is also a proposal on the need to transform the provisions of Articles 23 and 24 of the Law of Ukraine «On Environmental Protection» by merging them and expanding the content, including all types of environmental accounting. It was found that Ukraine has already begun the process of adapting legislation on this issue, in particular, by setting requirements for digitization of all environmental data, i.e. the creation of a single environmental electronic platform, which today is only in its infancy. Keywords: ecological accounting, cadasters, registers, registers, digitalization, systematization of legislation

Indonesia is a country rich in resources, especially natural resources, but population growth is not proportional to the availability of natural resources. Malthus predicts that population progress to increase in quantity is greater than the ability of natural resources to provide human food needs. The environment cannot support an infinite amount of life if the earth is no longer able to support the explosion in the number of humans and their activities. Indonesia is a country known as a maritime country, which means it is mostly water and consists of islands. Sea transportation is very important to connect the islands scattered throughout Indonesia. The development of environmental law is urgently needed which cannot be separated from the world movement to give greater attention to the environment. In marine pursuits, such as fishing, excessive fish species using trawlers can lead to extinction. Pollution of the marine environment is a threat to human life, animals, and plants. Increased use of the sea can have a direct impact on the marine environment and the biota in it. The Environment Agency is one of the institutions that play a role in handling the impact of marine environmental pollution in the region. The purpose of this research is to find out the Legal Regulation of Marine Pollution by Tanker Ships in the Riau Archipelago Waters. The aim is to find out what factors are being carried out in handling marine pollution by tankers in the waters, especially in the Riau Islands Environmental Service. It is hoped that this will lead to a better understanding of the environmental impact of marine pollution in the region. The Riau Islands Environment Agency is responsible for compensation for losses caused by pollution of the marine environment by persons or legal entities within its jurisdiction. Each country must cooperate in implementing international law which regulates the responsibility and obligation to compensate for losses due to pollution. The International Maritime Organization is a leading organization in producing various regulations on marine pollution, especially those caused by oil. Keywords: Marine Pollution, Tanker Ships, Riau Islands.

The article considers the institute of ecological management as an object of legal regulation of ecological law. The works of scientists devoted to the role of business associations in environmental and legal relations are analyzed. The paper also analyzes similar legal relations in neighboring countries. The authors aim to reveal an interesting issue, namely the impact of the phenomenon of environmental management as a driving factor in the transition to the principles of sustainable development. There is a demonstration of the conflict between economic and environmental interests, which is relevant because the relationship between these different areas of law is traced throughout the article. An analysis of the legal norms of each of the above industries is given. However, it is emphasized that only the consistent improvement of national environmental and economic legislation can be decisive factors in the economic well-being of the country. The authors propose their improvement of domestic legislation on the basis of the Law "On the Basic Principles (Strategy) of State Environmental Policy of Ukraine for the period up to 2030. The information contained in this law is fully reflected in the article and is relevant, because here the position of the authors and the position of the main legislative body of the country coincide. We can trace this further in the text, where changes to this law are demonstrated and argued with reference to leading researchers in both industries, both economic and environmental. This article will be useful for both students, as it contains a lot of guiding theoretical material on Commercial and Environmental Law. The same goes for experienced researchers, because the authors raise a large number of problematic issues that can be discussed further. It is a springboard for the legislative improvement of a large number of regulations, which can serve as a source for argumentation in drafting a bill to improve economic legislation in terms of environmental protection in the course of direct economic activity.

The paper has demonstrated that term “environmental losses” not existing in the legislation is often applied in the theory of environmental law and in law enforcement. In doctrinal sources, legal stances of higher courts, specific court decisions, “environmental losses” are used in a narrow sense. Environmental losses are associated solely with unlawful actions causing or allegedly causing harm to the environment. The paper contains the author’s definition of “environmental losses” in a broader ecological and legal contexts. The author suggests that environmental losses mean irrecoverable or long-term recoverable losses of individual components of the natural environment, natural and natural-anthropogenic objects, as well as violation of direct and reverse links between the elements of an ecological system emerging as the result of both unlawful and lawful actions of natural users or events of natural origin. A broader understanding of “environmental losses” is relevant to the environmental legal regulation of legal liability or economic regulation in the field of environmental protection. Environmental losses are classified according to the nature of the loss of a natural resource potential (absolute and relative) depending on renewability of natural resources (arising from the use of non-renewable natural resources, the long-term restoration of renewable natural resources, and the depletion of renewable natural resources). The paper has proven the importance of differentiation of environmental losses to separate rational nature management from other types of nature management and its effective legal support.

The legal regime of environmentally unfavourable territories is studied in the article. Nowadays, more and more areas of the territory of Kazakhstan are exposed to unfavourable impact on the environment due to the increasing influence of developing scientific and technical progress. These activities do not only harm environmental systems and individual natural resources but also complicate and sometimes make it impossible for citizens to live in these areas. Such areas of the territory need to be restored, the damage should be compensated, and the inconveniences of human habitation should be compensated. Thus, there is a need to establish special legal regimes governing the respective responsibilities of those who carry out activities that degrade the environmental situation in these areas, the authorities, and the rights of citizens living in these areas. The objective of the presented study is to analyze the legislation regulating the legal regime of environmentally unfavourable territories in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the international experience of such regulations. As a result of the research, the authors conclude that it is necessary to develop a comprehensive legal regulation to address most of the issues of ensuring the restoration of environmentally unfavourable areas, compensation for environmental damage, and reimbursement to the population.

The article presents the results of the legal analysis of the formation of environmental accounting as one of the main means of determining the effectiveness of the implemented indicators of sustainable development. It is established that today there are no common approaches around the world to identify sustainable development indicators, including their environmental component. This greatly influences the development of a unified system of environmental accounting, which contains important data on the quantity and quality of natural resources, their legal status, the number of objects and substances that have harmful effects on the environment, financial and other measures taken for the environmental modernization of enterprises , the payment of environmental payments, etc., as such information is a major factor in making further management decisions to achieve sustainability in the environmental field, both locally, nationally, regionally, and globally. tovomu level. Keywords: sustainable development, indicators, ecological accounting, ecological information, reliability of data, types of ecological accounting systems, systematization of ecological accounting systems, regulatory legal regulation of ecological accounting

<p>In the context of the Year of Ecology in Russia, much attention has been drawn to the significant extent to the implementation of the state environmental policy related to the problems of the country’s environmental development as a whole, as well as to ensuring environmental safety and conservation of biological diversity, both in the country and in the regions. The authors use official assessments of the environmental situation in the Kemerovoregion, which is characterized by a high level of anthropogenic impact on the natural environment, the social sphere, the public health and the significant environmental consequences of economic activity.<strong></strong></p><p>Therefore, the paper features the implementation of environmental law in an industrialized region. It analyses a number of violations caused by the economic activity in the region. First of all, they are related to the current growth rates of coal mining in Kuzbass, as well as with the predominance of open coal mining, which leads to intensive development of the poor ecological situation in the region.</p><p>The authors consider examples of legal regulation of relations caused by the formation of mechanisms for the application of environmental policy, in the process of exercising the competence of controlling and law enforcement bodies in their protection of mineral wealth, land, water, air and forest in the region.</p><p>The article also discusses the «non-exhaustive» use of natural resources as one of the strategic directions of state environmental policy: as a legal concept, as a legal principle, as an obligation of the authorities, and as the right and duty of rightholders (users) of natural resources.</p><p>The article ends with the following statement: in Russian version, the content of environmental policy is distributed among a number of legal acts, which is why it is often difficult to determine and complicated in application.</p><p>A possible solution for the ecological situation in the region should be based on the objectives of environmental policy, determined for different periods (long, medium and short-term). The joint efforts of economic entities and supervisory bodies should be aimed at a radical change in the fight against destruction and contamination with environmental wastes, contaminated wastewater, as well as the elimination of the accumulated environmental damage in general. Finally, there is a need to strengthen the planning in the implementation of environmental policy in order to achieve the volume of production and consumption of both mineral and biological resources of the region that would be adequate to the natural environment. These measures should be equally extended to the activities of industrial facilities and the population in all territories of the region.</p>

The article is devoted to the study of modern theoretical and legal problems of ensuring biological security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The published Draft of Federal law No. 850485-7“On biological security of the Russian Federation”provides an opportunity to take a closer look at the problem of legal provision of biological security in relation to the most vulnerable ecosystems, and, first of all, the Arctic. The article considers the most important features and potential risks of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation of critical importance from the point of view of biological hazards, the features (specificity) of biological safety problems from the point of view of organizational-legal features and, in particular, from the perspective of environmental law. It is proved that, given the special situation of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, in addition to the base Federal law“About biological safety” required a specific law on biological and ecological safety of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, which should be generated on a slightly different model than the draft Federal law «On biological safety”, to wear the most specific, applied nature.
