This monograph proposes strategic transformations in the environmental sphere based on a transition to the principles of a green economy and on the implementation of modern technologies in order to protect and improve the state of the environment, preserve natural resources, and improve the quality of life in Russia and around the world. The proposals contained herein seeks to develop citizens' ecological culture, as well as to encourage and guide businesses to pursue working with green methodology. The principles of conservation of water and forest resources, the recreational role of specially protected natural areas, as well as the development of ecological tourism are considered.

The article features various strategizing issues of chemical industry. The authors summarize prospective strategic goals and objectives of the chemical industry in the Kemerovo Region (Kuzbass). They believe that proper strategic objectives in the chemical industry development can help the region to overcome the current economic recession. The paper contains some recommendations on how to implement Industry 4.0 in the chemical industry and develop the local chemical industry by creating large, medium, and low-tonnage chemical enterprises.

The authors use Kuzbass as the example to study strategic approach and methodology of choosing and implementing vanguard (perspective) physicochemical and biological technologies for water treatment plants. They also examine the requirements for purification and disinfection of drinking and waste waters under present conditions characterized by increased anthropogenic loads. These procedures should be carried out with controlling a number of new types of dangerous contaminants. Currently there is no provision for systematic analysis of their presence in water sources before and after their treatment. The authors study the interrelation between forecasting, strategizing, target programming, project management of planning and realization of the priority of implementation of vanguard physicochemical and biological technologies of vanguard physicochemical and biological technologies for water treatment at the water supply and drainage utilities. In the strategic study the authors adduce the overview of perspective trends of development of vanguard physicochemical and biological technologies and the examples of their technical realization which allow fulfilling the strategy’s priority under study within the set of priorities “Development strategy of life supply systems (water supply and water waste). Water utilities as “green economy” translators”. The article studies the levels of water quality control as well as common approaches to building regional water quality control centres and implementing online water quality control. The authors adduce the main competitive advantages that the Kemerovo region possesses to fulfill the priority. Strategizing of the implementation of vanguard physicochemical and biological technologies will provide the opportunity for realizing long-term (up to 15 years long) target programs in water supply and drainage areas in order to improve the performance of water industry.
