Delay Decision

Two and half-decades of experience in implementing environmental assessment (EA) tools through policies and legislations have contributed to integrating environmental aspects into development projects in Nepal. The Enforcement of Environment Protection Act (EPA) of 1996 and the Environment Protection Rules (EPR) of 1997 have expanded the application of EA tools for the prescribed proposals. After the enforcement of EPA and EPR, the government has approved the EIA reports of 72 projects. In 2006 alone, EIA reports of 22 projects were approved. In general, however, approval of EIA reports has no meaning unless they are effectively implemented. The benefits of EA could be realised after environmental monitoring and auditing that helps to know the level of compliance and effectiveness of mitigation measures. This article outlines the causes of delay decision and major initiatives taken to make the EA more effective, realistic and practical.

The Impact

In 2017 the fundamental scientific-reference multidisciplinary Ecological Atlas of Russia was published (Ecological …, 2017; Kasimov et al., 2018). The Atlas reflects the ecological situation at the beginning of the 21st century. The Geography Department of Lomonosov Moscow State University with the participation of more than 30 leading departmental and scientific organizations contributed to the Atlas. The Atlas represents a wide range of ecological-geographical spatio-temporal characteristics of the territory of Russia and its regions. The six structural sections of the Atlas contain more than 30 maps showing vegetation in different aspects: Introduction; Natural conditions for the formation of an ecological situation; The impact of economic activity on the environment; Natural and technological hazards; Modern ecological situation; Environmental monitoring and nature conservation. The scale of the base maps of Russia is 1 : 20 000 000, others — 1 : 30 000 000 and smaller. Maps are accompanied by text descriptions, graphs and slides. More than 20 % of the Atlas volume is given to satellite imagery — an effective, in some cases unique, means of visualizing environmental information. The description of the maps is given in the following sequence: inventory maps — estimation maps. The Introduction “Russia on the Ecological Map of the World” analyzes the ecological role of Russia on a planetary scale and assesses the contribution to the observed degradation of the planet’s environment. The text reveals the role of vegetation in the biosphere and its environmental functions. In the section “Natural Conditions for the Formation of an Ecological Situation” there is a photomap “Vegetation Cover” created using MODIS images. The 18 divisions of vegetation are grouped in the legend into five large typological complexes — Forests, Grass and shrub vegetation, Tundra, Wetland complexes, Other vegetation. Mires are represented by three maps in 1 : 30 000 000 scale: “Mires and wetlands” (Fig. 1), “Types of mires”, “Afforestation of mires”. The key topic ‒ “Ecological functions of the vegetation cover” — has been made as a separate map (Volkova, Fedorova, 1995). Large proportion of the section is devoted to the productivity of the vegetation cover (3 maps), the most important indicator controlling the stability of geosystems (Fig. 2). In the section “Impact of economic activity on the environment”, vegetation is displayed through the main object of economic activity — forests and factors that determine the current state of forests: deforestation, derivative forests, forest burnability, and frequency of forest fires. The cumulative effect of their impact is presented on the map “Forest disturbance” (Fig. 3). The consequences of adverse effects on biota are presented on the integrated map “Degradation of the plant and animal world” at a scale of 1 : 20 000 000. The maps of poisonous plants and plants-allergens in 1 : 30 000 000 scale (Dikareva et al., 2017) were made for the first time; they are placed in the section “Natural and technological hazards” (Fig. 4). The map “Ecological state of natural fodder lands” (1 : 20 000 000 s.) is included in the group of maps characterizing the ecological state of individual natural components (surface and underground waters, soils, lands, etc.). The final section of the Atlas “Environmental monitoring and nature conservation” contains the maps “Nature Protection”, “Specially Protected Natural Territories”, “Especially Valuable Wetlands” and maps of the Red Book species of plants. The section concludes with the topic “Environmental Benefits of the Russian Federation and Their Capitalization. Russia is in the market of ecosystem services”. It complements the Introduction chapter, focusing on the huge role of the territory of Russia as a natural regulator of the global environment and the need to capitalize its environmental benefits.

The Impact

In the conditions of scientific and technological progress, the relationship of society with nature has become much more complicated. Man got the opportunity to influence the course of natural processes, started to use almost all available renewable and non-renewable natural resources, and as a result, began to pollute and destroy the environment. Specialists of the State Ecological Academy of Postgraduate Education and Management, within the framework of the scientific work “Development of the methodological basis of orthotransformed satellite imagery application in environmental assessment”, solved an actual scientific and applied task, which is to form a methodological basis for the use of orthotransformed satellite imagery to create information services for environmental monitoring of objects of critical infrastructure and expanding the capacity of the National Center of the provision of central executive authorities of information about the results of environmental monitoring based on space systems data through the development of methods of using orthotransformated satellite imagery for the assessment of the environmental state. The possibilities of using multispectral space images to assess the state of the environment are determined and the necessary software for this is given. Based on the classification algorithm of enterprises and objects of critical infrastructure of Ukraine, a GIS-compatible database of objects of critical infrastructure of Ukraine classified by their environmental impact was developed and a methodology for using orthotransformed satellite imagery was developed to assess the impact of the corresponding categories of critical infrastructure facilities of Ukraine on the state of the environment. During creating the ideology of geographic information systems, the requirements for technical means on which the service should be deployed, the procedure for maintaining, filling and updating the database of objects of critical infrastructure of Ukraine, the mechanism and procedure for visualizing impact assessments of all objects of the developed base based on GIS-systems.

Self-regulation appears to be a special institution where economic actors establish their own rules of economic activity for themselves in a specific business field. At the same time they are the object of control within these rules and the subject of legal management of the controller. Self-regulation contains necessary prerequisites for fundamental resolution of the problem of "controlling the controller". The necessary and sufficient set of five self-regulation organization functions provides efficiency of self-regulation as the institutional arrangement. The voluntary membership in a self-regulation organization is essential for ensuring self-enforcement of institutional arrangement of self-regulation.
