The Environment in the Spotlight of the SDG: A Chance to Talk About the Main Resource of Life


The hero of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s story said: “It’s a just a question of self-discipline. First thing in the morning you look after yourself, you brush your teeth and wash your face, don’t you? Well, the second thing you must do is to look after the planet.” The author packed his work with profound meanings, and this quote from the main character is not an exception. Like a metaphor, it makes us think about what you or I can do to help the environment, or at least leave it in good shape for the next generation. The UN has set out 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and ‘Clean water and sanitation’, ‘Life below water’, and ‘Life on land’, are becoming particularly instrumental in investment decisions. The green agenda is not only integrated into the development of companies, but is also being implemented at the state level, through national and federal projects. In the Far East, including on Russky Island, numerous new investment projects are planned for the near future in tourism, recreation, sports, education, housing, and other areas that will significantly change the appearance of the territories and affect the environment. What should be done and how, and what mistakes should be anticipated and avoided when carrying out projects on Russky Island? How can the SDG agenda of companies and investors working and implementing projects on the island affect the future of its ecosystem and the health of its inhabitants? Which UN Sustainable Development Goals should be prioritized in the further development of the island for its preservation?
