Subject. This article analyzes the risks of natural and man-made origin induced in environmental management in the coastal system of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation in the face of global climate change and ever-increasing anthropogenic impacts. Objectives. The article aims to classify the risks of Arctic coastal nature management, and determine their sources and factors of origin. Results. The article presents a phased system of risk structuring as a process of causing harm that is likely to be implemented. It identifies classification criteria and specific forms of structural elements of risk, and conducts an expert assessment of these relationships. Relevance. The results obtained help identify key elements of various scenarios of risk occurrence in the Russian Arctic coastal nature management, including the risk of cascading disasters.

The presented analytical review considers environmental and socio-economic problems of environmental management in the Arctic, the comprehensive studies of which were carried out within the framework of the subprogramme "Development and use of the Arctic" of the Federal target program "World ocean", the Federal target program "risk Reduction and mitigation of natural and man – made emergencies in the Russian Federation", the UNEP/GEF project "Russian Federation-support to The national action plan for the protection of the Arctic marine environment" and other international projects. Many of the author's conceptual and methodological developments remain relevant at present to solve the problems identified in the strategy of development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and national security for the period up to 2020, the Strategy of development of Maritime activities of the Russian Federation until 2030, the Strategy of national security of the Russian Federation. Strategic planning documents have been developed: including the Basics of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic, the action Plan of the Arctic Council for sustainable development, the Strategic action program (SPD) for environmental protection of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, the draft concept of sustainable development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, investment proposals and guidelines for cleaning the Arctic territories from pollution, including in the areas of the Russian presence on the Svalbard archipelago, reduction of natural and man-made risks of emergency situations and increase of protection of valuable natural areas. Also in the monograph are considered: proposals for the regulatory consolidation of the boundaries of the Arctic natural territory in the Russian Arctic to establish a special regime of natural resources, taking into account the high vulnerability of Arctic ecosystems to man-made impacts; methods of causal analysis to determine the relationship between the quality of the environment, the activities of sectors (industries) and the policy of public administration and regulation; road map for the transition from sectoral to complex (integrated) management of marine environmental management; methods of marine spatial planning; strategic environmental assessment of infrastructure projects, etc.

t. Theoretical approaches to the sustainable development of cities and towns in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation are considered. As such approaches, the concept of a «green» smart city, the concept of thermal stress in an Arctic city, the concept of a «winter city», the concept of an Arctic base city, the concept of developing coastal Arctic settlements based on the principles of the blue economy (the economy of marine nature management and coastal zones), the concept of ensuring the vital activity of Arctic cities, etc. are analyzed. In addition, the contribution of Arctic cities to environmental pollution and climate change, socio-economic and demographic development of the Arctic zone is analyzed. The development of Arctic cities, especially single-industry towns and settlements is considered in the context of the Republic of Karelia, the Murmansk, Arkhangelsk Regions, the Komi Republic, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The main directions of sustainable development of Arctic cities and towns are substantiated from the point of view of achieving the target indicators of the “Strategy for the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and ensuring national security for the period up to 2035”.

The paper examines the environmental and legal problems of rational nature management in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation being based on an analysis of the works by Russian and foreign scientists. The main ecological and legal directions for the development of rational nature management in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, such as (1) the creation of transboundary specially protected natural areas and an increase in the number of national ones; (2) elimination of objects of accumulated harm to the environment, within the framework of which not only the object of accumulated harm itself is disposed, but measures are taken to improve ecological systems; (3) development of aquaculture. It is shown that the development of legal support and management decisions in the field of rational environmental management in the Arctic should be based on coordinated actions of all Arctic states and on the ecosystem approach.

The article is devoted to development, implementation and information support of integrated approach to ecosystem management in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation in the context of global climate change. According to the adopted strategic planning documents for the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, integrated ecosystems management of the coastal zones is an issue that must be dealt with expeditiously. Solution of this problem is an urgent task in the state policy of the Russian Federation. The article presents the methodology for development, implementation and information support of integrated approach to ecosystem management in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation as well.

The article deals with the issues of cartographic support development for effective decision making support in the field of waste and secondary resources management. The analysis of foreign experience is adduced, the database of the sources of recyclable materials is collected and illustrated by an example of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, some mapping results are presented. The presented technological devices can be used for the development of systems for data collecting, storing and processing in the field of environmental management.

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.
