Abstract

Russia’s Arctic zone plays a key role in the development of energy resources on the world stage. At the same time, the development of the energy sector of the economy is associated with solving the tasks of the national security of the Russian Federation. The effective solution of these tasks is possible due to the more active use of the tools offered by the “green” economy and alternative energy, which requires a significant modification of legal regulation. However, at the moment, a complete replacement of the raw hydrocarbon sector in the world, according to researchers, seems impossible. Today, the main engine of the development of the Russian Arctic is precisely the raw energy sector, and the global economy is based mainly on energy, which is produced from mineral resources.

The development of energy in the Arctic zone depends on the level of industrial safety. Industrial safety can be understood as the state of protection of personal interests (vital and property), as well as public interests (society and the state) due to the system of industrial safety management provided for by legislation. The industrial safety management system and the Institute of Civil Liability Insurance for owners of hazardous facilities is a comprehensive mechanism for preventing accidents and neutralizing their negative consequences at hazardous facilities, which is especially important for the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The main problems of the implementation of this mechanism and the ways to solve them are outlined.
