Abstract:
The article deals with the peculiarities of the procedure of environmental impact assessment in the Arctic region, which is unique due to the rich natural resources and relatively clean environment. For this region, there are special regulatory requirements, Guidelines for environmental impact assessment, which, however, are not legally binding, which is why this document is not included in the national legislation or in the administrative regulations of the eight Arctic States and contains only General guidance for States to conduct EIA in their own sectors of the Arctic. It is concluded that it is necessary to increase the importance of the role of working groups of the Arctic Council in the unification of environmental impact assessment procedures in the Arctic States.
