Abstract

Modern realities are increasingly forcing us to think about solving environmental problems in the country and Russian regions. It should be noted that in recent years there has been a positive trend towards the environmental agenda on the part of the younger generation. Today, we can definitely say that there is a positive trend in the growth of conscious environmental behavior of young people, which makes it possible to eliminate possible risks and strategic environmental problems in the future. As the author's study, implemented on data slices of one cohort (age 16-20 years) with an annual time lag, showed, in 2023, 80% of respondents did not sort garbage and threw it into one container. In 2024, the number of these responses decreased by almost 15%. One in five carries out separate garbage collection at home. The very problem of environmental literacy has been highlighted by young people, and most believe that the solution of environmental problems in the future depends more on the actions of citizens themselves. The uniqueness of the methodology proposed by the authors lies in the possibility of taking into account regional peculiarities in the study of environmental issues in comparing the results with the data obtained during the monitoring of VTSIOM. The identified trends and indicators can become the basis for making competent strategic decisions on the "green" agenda in the country and regions of the Russian Federation
