EcoPower" almost a trillion for the environment: the state revealed plans to finance the environmental agenda. The Ministry of Natural Resources will receive 961.5 billion rubles for the next three years, as announced by the Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Alexander Kozlov, when he presented the department's draft budget to the State Duma. Spending in the environmental sector will increase from 284 billion rubles in 2026 to 324 billion rubles in 2029. Fixed funds are distributed across three state programs: "Environmental protection" will receive 438 billion rubles, "Forest development" - 255 billion, "Reproduction and use of natural resources" - 236 billion. A significant part is allocated to the national project "Ecological welfare" - 358.3 billion rubles. As part of the environmental protection program, the elimination of at least 50 objects of accumulated damage was funded. Eight objects have already been selected in the regions of Chukotka, Novgorod, Leningrad, Murmansk, Irkutsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson, another 18 will be selected in the coming months, the remaining 24 - until June 2027. Funds were given to clean up large toxic waste sites - Krasny Bor and Krasny Bor, Usolye-S. The head of the State Duma Committee on Ecology, Elena Panova, has set three priorities for the national project: a closed-loop economy, the Russian Water Program and the elimination of accumulated damages. At the same time, she noted that the pace of work is lagging behind, and only about 5% of the relevant federal project budget is allocated to preserving biodiversity.
