2 The impact of environmental issues on
the economy
1. The reduction of land resources and the decline in
their quality is reflected in food production.
2. The problem of the mismatch between demand
and supply of energy resources became global in the
second half of the 20th century, especially affecting
countries with underdeveloped economies.
3. The decrease in forest area entails a reduction in
food supplies, energy resources and other forest
products, which affects the economy of many
countries.
4. Reducing air pollution refers to materially costly
activities.
5. Economic growth is inextricably linked to the
growth of industrial water consumption.

3 The situation in Russia
The main environmental problem affecting the
economies of all countries is global warming.
In Russia, it occurs 2 times faster than the world’s,
the area of ​sea ice in the Arctic decreases, droughts
and floods are increasingly occurring.

4 What can we do?
For example, taxes on pollution and emissions are
applied, as a result of which it becomes
unprofitable for companies to harm the
environment.
Another option is to set emission limits, which are
accompanied by the possibility of buying and selling
permits for these emissions - the so-called quota
trading system. And the main option is to build
environmental enterprises, from which there will
be no toxic emissions and wastes.
