Almost all the countries in South Asia are faced with serious environmental problems, which are nature-made and man-made. Such environmental problems include soil erosion, flood, drought, deforestation, fresh water scarcity, and emission of carbon dioxide in the air and natural disasters.

| Summary/Abstract |
Through the second half of the twentieth century, the environment has deteriorated throughout the planet in general as well as in China, India and Russia in particular. Russian-Indian cooperation in the ecological sphere works through exchange of experience in resolution of various ecological problems. But it would be very different from the need for Russia and China to make joint efforts to overcome the problems arising in the vast and ecologically unfavourable area across the Russia-China border, particularly with regard to the Amur river basin

| Summary/Abstract |
This article considers the negative impacts on the environment associated with the daily activities of the Defense-Industrial Complex and the Armed Forces, which were acute in the 1980s-1990s. The authors indicate the obstacles to effective implementation of environmental measures, as well as areas for solving environmental problems of the Defense-Industrial Complex and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Secure and nutritious food supplies are the foundation of human health and development, and of stable societies. Yet food production also poses significant threats to the environment through greenhouse gas emissions, pollution from fertilizers and pesticides, and the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services from the conversion of vast amounts of natural ecosystems into croplands and pastures. Global agricultural production is on a trajectory to double by 2050 because of both increases in the global population and the dietary changes associated with growing incomes. Here we examine the environmental problems that would result from these dietary shifts toward greater meat and calorie consumption and from the increase in agricultural production needed to provide this food. Several solutions, all of which are possible with current knowledge and technology, could substantially reduce agriculture's environmental impacts on greenhouse gas emissions, land clearing, and threats to biodiversity. In particular, the adoption of healthier diets and investment in increasing crop yields in developing nations would greatly reduce the environmental impacts of agriculture, lead to greater global health, and provide a path toward a secure and nutritious food supply for developing nations.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT of the nuclear industry in the 20th century, the widespread use of radioactive isotopes in medicine and in military programs, the usage of nuclear submarines, as well as the operation of radiochemical plants, factories, nuclear power plants, and scientific research centers all around the world are accompanied by a constant accumulation of radioactive waste (RW) and spent nuclear fuel (SF). Mishandling of RW and SF could possibly inflict significant damage on the whole planet, not merely a single nation. Thus, the question of placing RW and SF in storage is the main component of an environmental issue shared by the whole planet due to the use of nuclear energy.

| Summary/Abstract |
The association of Russia, Brazil, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) has completed the full cycle of presidencies, and this year it is Russia's turn to host the summit. Why do we need this organization? Have we got from it what we wanted? In Russia, analysts are largely unanimous on the tasks faced by the five-member alliance. Executive Director of Russia's National Committee for BRICS Studies Georgy Toloraya, in his article "Why Does Russia Need BRICS?," indicated that the first objective of the association was to reform international financial institutions; the second one, to create mechanisms for maintaining security; and the third one, to facilitate inter-civilizational interaction.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Paris Agreement requires all Parties to put forward their best efforts through “nationally determined contributions” (NDCs) and to strengthen these efforts in the years ahead. This includes requirements that all Parties report regularly on their emissions and on their implementation efforts. In 2018, Parties will take stock of the collective efforts in relation to progress towards the goal set in the Paris Agreement and to inform the preparation of NDCs.
