Abstract

The research is purposed to identify the key current ecological problems of Moscow that hinder sustainable growth, and to estimate possibilities and perspectives of “greening” Moscow. Materials and methods include: (1) an analysis of environmental aspects of Moscow urban policy and (2) a survey to discover the perception of environmental problems by young people in Moscow and their awareness of the need to form a “green economy” in Moscow. The results of the study confirm that Moscow is beleaguered by high level of pollution. Superior endowments of natural resources and low conventional energy prices slow the introduction of renewable energies and lead to a lack of energy-efficient technologies in the Russian economy. Moscow just takes its first steps toward green energy and eco-friendly construction. In recent years, improving the Moscow transport system resulted in a decrease in road traffic and a reduction of the negative impact of transport on the environment. It is essential to promote environmentally safe types of transport and to adopt modern environmental standards for cars. It is also necessary to continue taking measures on increasing the density of green areas. At the moment, Moscow lags far behind other megacities in terms of waste processing, and it faces the challenge of establishing a system for separate collection of garbage and environmentally sound handling of waste. To use the potential and creativity of young people in the implementation of the concept of sustainable development in Moscow, further development of environmental education and awareness is necessary.
