Relatively recently, just ten years ago, a very interesting and useful tradition appeared in Russia of dedicating each current year to a specific topic, problem, or area of activity. This approach makes it possible to concentrate the attention of both the authorities and the people on a certain area, to formulate and implement ideas through which existing problems and shortcomings can be solved.
Several previous years have already been devoted to such important areas as, for example, culture, astronautics, literature, and family. What year is 2017 declared in Russia? The coming 365 days will be entirely devoted to environmental problems, of which there are currently more than enough. What problems are particularly pressing? What solutions, ideas, innovations will be proposed aimed at protecting nature - we will consider further.
The opinions of modern experts are unanimous: over the past few decades, the environmental situation in the country has deteriorated significantly. The problem is colossal and requires an immediate solution. Otherwise, not only nature and its seemingly inexhaustible resources will be at risk, but also the lives of future generations.
The negative impact of modern enterprises, scattered in large numbers throughout the state, and the increased need for the extraction of various minerals has led to the emergence of the following problems:
- The condition of the soil is significantly deteriorating due to massive spontaneous landfills, burials of all kinds of waste, livestock, and discharges of polluted water. The resources of fertile land that can be used for sowing have decreased several times.
- The amount of fresh water that is suitable for consumption has also decreased and is massively consumed by residents of large and small settlements.
- Most of the seas in the country are being desalinated. This aspect not only leads to a disruption of the ecological natural balance as a whole, it is a direct cause of the extinction of many species of marine animals. That is, the resources of the sea are being depleted.
- Due to the massive consumption of wood in recent years, the amount of natural green spaces has significantly decreased. This has a negative impact not only on the life of animals whose habitat is the forest zone. Reducing the number of forests leads to deteriorating air quality.
- The temperature regime also increases. In this regard, glaciers are gradually melting, and there is a very real threat of flooding of a number of continents.
The list of problems can be continued for quite a long time, but this is enough to understand that the environmental situation has deteriorated significantly. So, what's happening in Russia in 2017? The presidential decree dedicated this year specifically to the existing problems of nature.
Expert commissions will be created, the main activities of which will be aimed at identifying existing problems, calculating those that may appear in the near future, developing plans and measures through the use of which the situation can be improved.
List of expected events
The year 2017 was announced in Russia, it has already been clarified above. However, what exactly are the measures expected to be taken that will stabilize and direct the negative situation of poor ecology in the country in a positive direction?
Today, several thousand specially protected natural sites already operate in the country. A special regime is introduced on the territory of such reserves, which can significantly improve the quality of water and soil, prevent the reduction of forest areas, and save populations of many animal species from extinction from the face of the earth.
Thus, to the question “2017 has been declared the year of what in Russia,” the presidential decree says the following: The coming year will be entirely dedicated to the environment. Additional large areas will be allocated and given the status of “specially protected”. Predominantly, these are areas where small species of animals and birds, or endangered plants live.
Enterprises whose activities are directly related to the consumption of natural resources, due to the need to discharge waste into natural reservoirs, will be instructed accordingly.
It is also planned to increase the total number of reserves. In these zones, they not only practice protecting the territory from possible pollution, but also carry out appropriate measures aimed at purifying the soil and water, increasing the number of rare animals and the area of green spaces.
Priority Goals
And finally, 2017 has been declared the year of what in Russia, the presidential decree - what goal does it pursue? As mentioned above, the next year will be entirely devoted to environmental issues. The deterioration of the environmental situation in the country negatively affects not only animals and natural resources. Low quality of consumed water, air, food - all these negative factors invariably lead to a deterioration in the health of each individual person.
Currently, there is an urgent need to improve the quality of natural resources, suspend the activities of various enterprises, and reduce the amount of forest cut down. Otherwise, in just a few years it will be impossible to reverse the situation by directing it in the right direction.
Despite the fact that the solution to environmental problems will be predominantly theoretical, there is still a possibility of improving and stabilizing the tense environmental situation in the country.
Views: 1
For many years, every year in Russia is dedicated to a specific topic, event, date. And since this topic directly affects social and public life in our country, the choice is approached carefully and thoughtfully.
We must know and remember about certain milestones in the country's development, historical dates, the most important and pressing issues and topics for the development of Russia. And living for a year under the sign of this or that event helps to better understand and learn more about it.
Thus, 2017 was declared the year of ecology, and 2018 – the year of civic participation.
Decree on volunteers
At the beginning of December 2017, at the All-Russian meeting called “Forum of Volunteers,” the President of Russia declared 2018 the year of the volunteer and volunteer. 
Thus, the state recognizes the important role of volunteers in the life of the country. Who are they, volunteers and volunteers?
These are people who engage in social work absolutely free of charge and on a voluntary basis, benefiting people and the state.
Volunteers provide invaluable assistance in searching for missing people. In addition to caring for humanity, their department also takes care of our little brothers.
Volunteers create animal shelters and work in them absolutely free of charge, taking care of nature and the cleanliness of our forests, lakes, parks, rivers and seas.
These are people who love the country, love humanity and want to make life on planet Earth better. They do not act “by order”, but from the heart!
Decade of childhood
In the spring of 2017, it was announced that the Decade of Childhood would begin in 2018.
Everyone knows that children are our future and this well-known and rather banal phrase takes on special meaning over the next ten years.
Particular attention will be paid to the development of preschool and school education, equipping schools, the development of children's sports, children's health, etc.
The President instructed to develop a program of events for the Decade of Childhood.
The best way to raise a good child is to make him happy. (O. Wilde)
Adults must ensure that our children grow up happy, healthy and successful. This is what the whole decade will be devoted to.
Year of Football
2018 is the year of the World Cup. This is the first time our country is hosting such a large-scale international sporting event. This is a holiday for all Russian football fans and lovers. In addition to the fact that the strongest football teams will come to the country, in preparation for the World Cup, sports stadiums will be reconstructed and prepared, and the infrastructure of the cities participating in the championship will be improved.
Year of Ballet
Russian ballet is considered the best ballet in the world. Our ballet dancers and choreographers have won the hearts of many people around the world. 2018 is the year of the 200th anniversary of the famous choreographer Marius Petipa. He is originally from France, but Russia became his second homeland, and gave him the opportunity to reveal his multifaceted talent.
Marius Petipa staged more than 60 performances on the stages of Moscow and St. Petersburg, which are successfully performed to this day.
Year of the unification of nationalities and peoples of Russia
Russia is a multinational country. There are about 190 nationalities and nationalities in our country. We must (especially in such difficult times for the country) unite into one fist.
In addition, you need to learn more about the history of nationalities, their traditions and customs. And in our country, days of one or another nationality or nationality are often held.
Year of the fight against cancer
Cancer is one of the main diseases that kills thousands of people every year. Just this year, Mikhail Zadoronov and Dmitry Hvorostovsky passed away from cancer. And how many ordinary people are taken by this insidious disease.
About 280 thousand people die from cancer every year. The Association of Cancer Patients proposed holding a year of fight against cancer in Russia. And although 2018 was not the year of the fight against cancer, this does not mean that the country will not pay attention to this problem.
On the agenda are issues of access to medicines, early diagnosis of the disease, and accessibility of research for Russians.
Russia is a huge country. And every year we have many different events. And despite the fact that 2018 will be marked by special attention to volunteers and volunteers, it is not in the Russian character to forget other significant events. This is probably why we are strong.

Every year in Russia, every year is dedicated to some issue or area, for example, 2015 was declared the year of literature, and 2016 was declared and dedicated to Russian cinema, and the next year 2017 will not be an exception.
2017 has been declared the year of which - Decree of the President of the Russian Federation
According to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated August 1, 2015 No. 392 “On holding the Year of Specially Protected Natural Areas in the Russian Federation,” 2017 in Russia declared the year ecology. It was decided to implement such a task in connection with the global trend of drawing public attention to the environmental problems of each country individually and the whole world as a whole.
Environmental problems in Russia
Based on the opinions of experts, it was revealed that the current environmental situation is becoming more and more depressing every year. The condition of soils is deteriorating, water is being polluted, seas are being desalinated, the amount of green space is decreasing, the average temperature is increasing, which leads to the melting of glaciers, the protective ozone layer in the atmosphere is decreasing... This is not a definitive list of modern problems that need to be solved. To maintain the condition of soils and cleanse water bodies, as well as to eliminate other problems listed above, it was decided to carry out expert actions lasting a whole year. Thanks to these measures Government of the Russian Federation intends in 2017 to improve the overall environmental situation in the country, so as not to aggravate such alarming forecasts of environmentalists.
Events dedicated to 2017 ecology
At the moment, more than 13 thousand specially protected natural areas, abbreviated as PAs, have been organized in Russia. Thanks to the expert group that will be established, it was decided to increase the number of protected areas by several hundred more. The planned program will involve approximately 168 activities aimed at disseminating information about environmental issues. Event plan, includes the organization of children's and youth festivals on this topic, as well as other educational activities. The creation of an all-Russian forum on protected areas and solving problems of reducing the number of mammals will also be carried out throughout 2017. 
One of the aspects of the issue under consideration will be the development of the reserve system in Russia. At the moment, there are 103 natural reserves on the territory of the Russian Federation, which in their activities practice not only the preservation of the natural landscape and increasing the number of individuals of the animal world, but also the maintenance of populations of endangered species, the purification of natural water sources, and the improvement of air composition.
The main goals of environmental measures in the Russian Federation
Thanks to the planned activities, the Government of the Russian Federation intends to improve the environmental situation in the country, which should certainly affect not only the general health of the given territory, but also the attitude of citizens towards environmental problems. The main criterion for the productive completion of the set goals will be a conscious approach and responsible understanding of the severity and importance of the environmental problem being raised.
Every year, officials in the most developed countries focus public attention on some global problem so that everyone, everywhere, pays attention to it. To do this, the governments of these same countries designate the next year in honor of a certain event or incident. For example, 2015 in Russia was the Year of Literature, while the UN Assembly designated this period as the International Year of Light and Light Technologies. But the current 2016 in Russia is being celebrated as the Year of Greece, while in all European countries it is designated the Year of Combating Violence against Women. But what awaits us in 2017? More precisely, what has 2017 been declared the year of in the world?
2017 – Year of the Fire Rooster
Before moving on to considering global problems, it is worth remembering which animal year 2017 will be according to the Eastern calendar. According to astrological statements, immediately after the New Year, the reins of power will pass into the hands of the Fire Rooster. According to the horoscopic cycle, this sign is considered the 10th sign, and the rooster can rightfully be called one of the most interesting animals. Even the Chinese themselves think so. The ambitious rooster is distinguished by his extraordinary nature, brightness and liveliness. He is always driven only by pride and grace, so the rooster is considered very confident in his abilities. Simply put, the entire 2017 will be unforgettable for every inhabitant of our planet.
The Fire Rooster is a sophisticated, colorful and sociable sign that prefers to be the center of attention at any time of the day or night. At the same time, he really likes new acquaintances, and he simply melts from praise. In 2017, this obstinate sign will show itself at its best, exuding waves of charm and bringing a sea of positive emotions. Thanks to resourcefulness and intelligence, most persistent inhabitants of the Earth will achieve unprecedented heights in their careers, which will improve their financial condition.
According to astrologers themselves, in 2017 there will be exceptionally happy and strong marriages, because the Rooster himself is a lover of the family hearth. True, it is important to remember that you must always support your other half in everything, sharing both good and bad moments with it.
2017 in Russia
The Russian government is trying in every way to support all actions and proposals coming from developed countries. At the same time, officials of the State Duma are trying to develop moral characteristics in their own citizens, so each new year is dedicated to a specific issue or area. As mentioned earlier, 2015 turned out to be the Year of Literature, while 2016 was the Year of Cinema. According to official information, 2017 will be held as the Year of Ecology. This was confirmed by a decree of the Russian President of August 1, 2015. The fact is that for several years now, the environment around the world has been in need of global assistance, because nature is dying faster every day. It was Russia that decided not to remain aloof from such an important issue and to bring the problem of the relationship between man and nature to the international level.
Ecology in Russia
According to Russian ecologists, regarding the state of nature itself and the environment of the Russian Federation, everything is very disappointing. Every year the condition of the soil becomes worse and worse, the waters in the rivers are polluted, and the seas are desalinated. As a result, green spaces are gradually dying out, and the average air temperature begins to rise. All this has a negative impact on glaciers - they are melting faster and faster. And frankly, this is just the top of all the problems of our Earth.
In order to somehow improve the condition of the native planet, the Russian government decided to develop and implement special events for general use, allocating the entire year of 2017 for them. As a result, the environmental situation should improve significantly both in the country itself and beyond its borders.
According to the head of the presidential administration, Sergei Ivanov, a “general cleaning” of Russia will begin from the very beginning of 2017. To put it simply, until then, the government must develop a different approach to the environmental problem among businessmen and officials. This primarily concerns the disposal of household waste.
The number of protected natural areas should also increase significantly. At the moment, their total number in the Russian Federation reaches 13 thousand units. In 2017, youth and children's festivals dedicated to the mentioned topics should be held. Throughout the year, questions regarding the decline in mammal populations should be raised at the All-Russian forum of protected areas.
According to the country's leadership, all the described measures should not only raise the environment to a more acceptable level, but also significantly change the views of people themselves on the problem of environmental pollution. According to officials, within 12 months people must understand the full extent of the danger of current environmental problems in order to consciously approach issues of preserving flora and fauna in the future.
2017 at the UN
At the international level, 2017 has been designated the year of Tourism Development. Not long ago this became known from the words of the leadership of the UN General Assembly. In accordance with the noted decision, a resolution was adopted that describes the relevance of tourism, its importance in order to support friendly relations between peoples, as well as enrich the knowledge of different civilizations. It is through the 2017 Tourism Development that the heads of the UN hope to reconcile certain states and try to establish the long-awaited world peace.
According to UNWTO Secretary General Taleb Rifai, the 2017 International Year of Sustainable Tourism Development will provide an opportunity to significantly expand the existing boundaries of the current tourism sector in relation to many aspects: environmental, economic and social. By the way, the UNWTO is considered the leading agency in this area, so it is preparing to meet 2017 in full readiness.
At the moment, before the end of 2016, certain events must be developed that will confirm the readiness for cooperation in the year of Tourism Development of most world countries. This also applies to popular organizations and other UN structures.
2017 in the world and Europe
Members of the European Parliament also assign some global significance to the new year each year. Next, we come up with a list of activities that can help change the affected situation for the better. For example, in this regard, 2016 was designated the Year of the Fight against Violence against Women. The fact is that at the moment this problem is acutely felt not only in Europe, but throughout the entire globe. It is still impossible to say exactly what 2017 will turn out to be, but there is no doubt that officials will choose a topic that is pressing and important in every sense.
In conclusion, I would like to add that in any case it is worth being more attentive to the world around you and other people. We should not forget that it is human actions and decisions that make everything around us worse or better, more beautiful and safer, or more murderous. Only through joint efforts can we turn this blue planet into a real Paradise of the Universe or destroy it completely. Therefore, make any decisions, thinking not only about yourself.
