The article discusses topical innovations in the development of the current economic mechanism for environmental protection. The issues of introducing into the system of environmental customs fees of carbon payments to import «climate unfavorable» goods, its environmental efficiency is analyzed, as well as economic consequences from the inclusion of payment into the system of customs fees of the European Region. In the specified context, the authors consider problems and prospects for the implementation of such environmental payments into the system of national law of the Russian Federation.

Abstract Background: Rapid economic growth in China has resulted in a commensurate increase in energy consumption, which in turn has caused an increase in environmental pollution problems. Past research has mainly focused on energy and environmental efficiency analyses with little consideration of the influence of media influence on environmental protection. Further, most studies have used static models and have ignored the dynamic changes over time. Methods : To go some way to filling this research gap, this study developed a modified undesirable Dynamic DEA model that included air quality index (AQI) and CO2 indicators to explore the relationship between energy, the environment and media efficiency in 31 Chinese cities from 2013 to 2016. Results: It was found that: 1. Chongqing, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Shanghai had efficiencies of 1, but Lanzhou, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, Xining and Yinchuan needed significant improvements; 2. while Chongqing, Guangzhou, Kunming, Nanning and Shanghai had relatively high media efficiency, the other cities had low efficiency and required improvements; 3. the CO 2 emissions efficiency in most cities was better than the air quality index efficiency; and 4. media reports in most cities were found to have a more positive impact on CO 2 emissions efficiency than AQI efficiency. Conclusions: As environmental awareness enhances the health of civilians and promotes economic growth, the news media needs to promote environmental protection, and should increase its environmental pollution coverage. The quality of media reports on environmental pollution and especially on air pollution need to be improved. Therefore, environmental pollution and awareness media coverage needs to be increased.

Abstract Pesticide is inevitable in the process of tea production. Residual chemical pesticides absorbed by human body and soil will pose a great threat to human health. The construction of tea garden ecosystem that uses the principle of mutual restriction between species can effectively reduce the number of pests and the dependence on pesticides. In order to improve the adoption and attention of green production among farmers, the government strongly supports rural financial institutions to lend to farmers and encourages resources to be inclined to farmers. The aim of this study was to find out what factors affect the intention of tea farmers’ ecosystem construction and the differences of influence on intention of Chinese tea farmers' ecosystem construction under different financing modes. The results of the empirical research showed that the attitude, perceived behavioral control and subjective norms of tea farmers have a significant positive impact on the behavioral intention. And for tea farmers who get bank financing, the influencing intensity and significance of factors are different from those who obtain private credit. This study provided a theoretical basis for government to promote the development of ecosystem construction in the agricultural section, and put forward suggestions for financial institutions to serve environmental protection.

Benefits And Costs

Abstract Campaign-style environmental implementation (CEI) is widely exerted in environmental protection, while its benefits and costs are controversial. We take advantage of the Central Environmental Protection Inspection (CEPI) System— a latest and distinguished form of CEI launched by China in 2016, as a quasi-natural experiment to compare the benefits and costs of CEI based on water pollution effects estimates. Our results based on the annual panel data from 500 cities during 2009-2018 show that CEPI significantly reduced water pollution by an average of 11.2%. Further cost-benefit analysis based on the estimates of water pollution reduction shows that the potential health benefits of mortality and morbidity reduction resulting from CEPI are at least $279.5 billion, which is greater than the $192.2 billion economic losses it causes. The gap is further magnified after considering the potential biases. We also explore why CEPI is cost-effective and find that CEPI reduces water pollution and becomes cost-effective mainly through deterring local officials, punishing polluting enterprises, and increasing public participation in environmental governance.

Оценка экологической эффективности функционирования судоходной компании позволяет определить экологические аспекты воздействия компании на окружающую среду. Подобный анализ обеспечивает определение способов наилучшего управления экологическими аспектами. При планировании снижения экологической нагрузки необходимо осуществить выбор показателей для оценки экологической эффективности. Выполнено структурирование целей и подцелей управления безопасностью, выбран критерий экологической эффективности судоходной компании. Обоснована необходимость определения коэффициентов важности каждой цели. Для оценки экологической эффективности выбран критерий максимума аддитивной технической полезности. Разработана методика анкетирования судоходных компаний для определения значимости и достаточности сформулированных целей в рамках оценки экологической эффективности судоходной компании. Проведено анкетирование ведущих российских судоходных компаний по выявлению степени значимости и достаточности состава целей, подцелей и процедур, используемых для оценки экологической эффективности системы управления экологической безопасностью компании. Выбраны виды характеристик технической полезности для всех процедур, характеризующих эффективность мероприятий, и обоснована оценка экологической эффективности судоходной компании. The assessment of the environmental efficiency of the functioning of a shipping company allows us to determine the environmental aspects of the company's impact on the environment. Such an analysis provides a definition of how best to manage the environmental aspects. When planning to reduce the environmental burden, it is necessary to select indicators for assessing environmental efficiency. The structuring of the goals and sub-goals of safety management was carried out, the criterion of environmental efficiency of the shipping company was selected. The necessity of determining the importance coefficients of each goal is justified. To assess the environmental efficiency, the criterion of maximum additive technical utility is selected. The methodology of the survey of shipping companies was developed to determine the significance and sufficiency of the formulated goals in the framework of the assessment of the environmental efficiency of the shipping company. A survey of leading Russian shipping companies was conducted to identify the degree of significance and sufficiency of the goals, sub-goals and procedures used to assess the environmental effectiveness of the company's environmental safety management system. The types of technical utility characteristics for all procedures that characterize the effectiveness of measures are selected and the assessment of the environmental efficiency of the shipping company is justified.
