The document, final version of which assumes creation of the Federal Environmental Council affiliated to the Government of the Russian Federation, was supported by 93% of voters.
According to participants of the Congress, whose opinion is reflected in the Resolution, today there is a critical need for creation of a platform for regular consultations of heads of federal and regional authorities for the purpose of coordinated environmental policy realization. For the solution of this problem it was suggested to create a new nature protection body - the Federal Environmental Council affiliated to the Government of the Russian Federation. The initiative is reflected in the Total Resolution of the Congress.
Other provisions stated in the Resolution include a need for approval of the declaration on implementation of the principles of “green” economy for Russia, introduction of new rigid criteria for the state control, environmental assessment, and monitoring, supplementary measures for elaboration and implementation of investment projects of environmentally safe removal of solid household waste etc.
According to delegates of the Congress, environmental problems of Russia are interconnected with problems of global ecology to a large extent. Entry of Russia into the World Trade Organization, joining the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, ratification and joining the system of international treaties impose additional responsibility and large-scale obligations.
