Legal and regulatory institutions integration in environmental policy of the Russian Federation

The legal regulation of environmental policy in the Russian Federation is carried out by a number of institutions and organisations, the management process of which in practice proves to be fragmented and uncoordinated. The functioning of this system, which lacks internal unity, leads to larger crises at the social, economic, and international levels. In today's increasingly globalised environment, environmental law seeks new ways of consolidation and international cooperation, which can only be achieved through the internal integration of legal institutions. Examining the shortcomings of the existing legal system, identifying ways to address them, and identifying mechanisms for integration will lead to positive effects in addressing environmental issues, both nationally and internationally.
