The monograph is devoted to the actual direction of research––assessment of the energy efficiency management system, focused on the rational provision of energy resources to consumers in order to save energy and improve energy efficiency in the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.The energy efficiency management system focused on the rational provision of energy resources to consumers in order to save energy and improve energy efficiency is presented. The analysis of the implementation of key energy-efficient technologies in the Arctic regionswas carried out: the introduction of individual thermal points with automatic weather control in the buildings of the budget sector and apartment buildings; energy-efficient light sources in buildings of the budget sector, as well as in the street and road sector; energy efficiency of buildings operated by public sector organizationswas carried out. The directions of energy saving potentials are indicated and a detailed description of the energy of the Murmansk region, which becomes more distributed, is given. The dynamics of the energy intensity of the gross regional product and the specific costs of fuel and energy resources for public sector institutions and housing and communal services in each region of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, which allows to determine the effectiveness of the implemented measures to save energy, is presented. The technique of calculation of economic efficiency of investments at introduction of the best available technologies is resulted.The monograph can be useful for specialists in the field of energy, researchers and students of energy specialties.

This article considers possible solutions to the main problems of improving the efficiency of energy resources usage at the regional, interregional, and intersectoral levels based on the dynamics of changes in the legislative framework of the Russian Federation to improve the efficiency of energy resources use. The relevance of the study is due to the need for improvements in this area. The methodological basis of the research includes the main provisions of the legislative and regulatory framework for state management and regulation of the economy, economic security and development. The main method of research is the analysis of legislative and regulatory acts of the Russian Federation adopted and currently in force to improve the energy efficiency of the economy. The author has studied the process of creating and making changes to the regulations of the Russian Federation; in addition, he has analyzed the content and comparative analysis of the legal framework. The problems of implementing certain legal acts were also considered. The results of the study have shown the necessity and role of a systematic approach to solving issues of managing measures to improve the energy efficiency of the Russian economy. While there is a fairly extensive legal framework for energy conservation and energy efficiency, the Russian Federation does not have a well-established national mechanism for interaction between generating and marketing organizations, on the one hand, and end-users of energy resources, on the other. This article depicts that most of the developed municipal and regional programs to improve energy efficiency, when they are ready for implementation, are focused exclusively on the end user. The interests of generating suppliers of energy resources and supplying organizations are not taken into account; therefore, there is no interest of energy suppliers in energy conservation in the domestic market of the country and there is no stimulation of necessary measures to reduce energy consumption on their part. The author has formulated the conclusion about the necessity of public administration and promoting development and achievement of balance of measures to improve the efficiency of energy use at Federal and regional levels and by industry and end-users of energy of all levels and forms of ownership.

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.

The paper considers the priorities of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic, from the point of view of the development of scientific research, identified by the main strategic documents of national policy and security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Measures for implementation of priorities in the development of scientific research in the Arctic can be divided into three main sections: 1. Scientific projects and expeditions in the Arctic; 2. International activities; 3. Coordination and implementation of integrated research in the Arctic. Note that currently the Ministry of education and science of the Russian Federation develops the Analytical Coordination Program “Comprehensive research of the Arctic and Antarctic”, in cooperation with the federal state bodies and Governance of the Subjects of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The mechanism of the Program will ensure coordination between state bodies for integrated scientific researches in the Arctic in the interests of economic and scientific development of the region, and the creation of the scientific, technical and technological reserve in order to ensure of national security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.

Through the concept of transnational space and “case-study” method, the prospects for the involvement of Ibero-America in the virtual Trans-Arctic, which is turning into a geoeconomic and geopolitical "bond" of two neighboring spaces – Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Pacific – are considered. The strengthening of Iberoamerican states’ presence in the Trans-Arctic will be a factor in increasing their ratings in the global hierarchy, will provide them with new geopolitical advantages for global competition, will strengthen comprehensive security (economic, environmental, energy, transport and logistics, food, water). In the context of the Arctic interests of Ibero-America, special attention is paid to options for possible "win-win" cooperation in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, including taking into account the potential of BRICS and its "outreach" and "BRICS +" platforms. Highlighted fundamental legal differences between Trans-Arctic and Antarctic. The Arctic prospects of Brazil as a channel for the realization of the circumpolar interests of the Iberoamerican states are emphasized
