The instructions to the Government also concern ratification of the UNECE Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context, signed in Espoo on February 25, 1991, and its Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment, signed in Kiev on May 21, 2003.

In particular, the Government is instructed to present suggestions aimed at:

- developing and implementing systems for assessing the development of dangerous environmental processes, including seismic threats with the possibility of tsunamis and submarine landslides;

- activating Russia’s participation in international cooperation to ensure environmental security when exploiting natural resources in the Arctic, Pacific, Caspian, Black Sea, and Baltic regions.

The Government is also instructed to make decisions allowing the Russian Federation to join the UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters, signed in Aarhus on June 25, 1998.

Individual instructions were given to the Russian Government jointly with executive bodies of Russia’s federal constituent entities.

In particular, the Russian Federation Government, jointly with the Government of Nizhny Novgorod Region, received concrete instructions to eliminate several household and industrial waste storage sites.

Together with executive authorities in Krasnodar Territory, the Government is instructed to take concrete measures to ensure environmental security in preparations for the Olympic Games in Sochi, including meticulous compliance with commitments made in the Sochi 2014 Bid Book.
