Abstract

In this study, the authors substantiate the need for introducing environmentally sustainable management (as a measure of sustainable development) into the public administration system of a separate state using the example of Russia. For this, the authors analyzed the primary sources that establish the legal framework for sustainable development and sustainable management. The indicators of environmental pollution in dynamics were also studied, the results obtained were critically assessed from the standpoint of determining the causes of the ecological state. Identified internal threats to the formation of environmental sustainability, which generally hinder the achievement of the planned goals of sustainable development. In conclusion, measures are proposed to introduce environmental friendliness into the structure of public administration.
