description

In
Russia, there is no clear definition of the notion of
sustainable development at the regional level.
Sustainable development programmes should therefore be
worked out relying on international experience. We may
start creating the basics of sustainable,
environment-oriented development at the regional level
with establishing international sustainable
development networks with participation of relevant
authorities of Karelia and Finnish administrative
units bordering Karelia (e.g., within the EUregio
Karelia), and of scientists possessing the greatest
experience in the sphere. The process requires wide
involvement of the public and dissemination of
information about ongoing activities and perspectives.
