Abstract

Conservation of Lake Baikal for the present and future generations is a historical mission of the nations of the Baikal region. In order to tackle this global challenge, it is crucial to implement an environmental-ethical model of sustainable development. Such model of sustainable development envisages (a) development of a concept, strategy, and program of regional sustainable development; (b) development of a set of legal documents regulating the process of institutionalizing the sustainable development model; and (c) creation of a system of public and state environmental monitoring and control over practical implementation of sustainable development principles. Prospects of the Baikal region as an environmental-ethical model of sustainable development are attributable to the following factors. First, the Baikal region displays a huge potential of environmental-ethical and cultural-historical traditions relevant to the moral imperative of sustainable development. Second, these prospects are related to the necessity of environmental protection of Lake Baikal as a “global well” and a particular “developmental site” on the globe. An all-Russian project under the title “Baikal – the Great Lake of the Great Country” will be launched in early 2018. This project will be efficient only if it becomes a common cause for all citizens, institutions, and authorities of the Russian Federation. The problem is to build a morally and legally substantiated strategy of nationwide mutual responsibility for the protection of Lake Baikal and sustainable development of the Baikal region and an equally substantiated strategy of environmental responsibility of every dweller of the Baikal region.
