In particular, she acts as an expert at the session “Ecology and Economics: Synergy of Financial Mechanisms and Innovations in Waste Management”, where key areas of the government policy to increase the investment attractiveness of the industry are discussed.

During the period of implementation of the waste management reform in Russia, there were built 295 infrastructure facilities, which made it possible to increase the level of municipal solid waste treatment to 56.8%, and recycling to 14%. However, further development requires significant investments, effective cooperation between federal authorities, regions, banks and the business community, as well as systematic training of highly qualified personnel.

The discussion there focuses on the role of humans in changing the environment, issues of personal and collective responsibility, as well as the need for urgent and large-scale measures to harmonize relations between society and the biosphere.
