 Abstract 

Background. The article discusses the most important areas of reducing the negative impact on the environment and climate by introducing modern systems of economic activity and adequately increasing the responsibility of natural resource users for environmental pollution and climate change in the Arctic zone. The international relations of the Russian Federation with foreign countries in the field of monitoring using latest-generation information and communication technologies and the trends in implementing the integrated approaches of an interdisciplinary format in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are considered. The aim of the study is to consider and analyze the legal problems of the Earth's climate change and to determine the necessary directions for the development and implementation of digital and information and communication technologies in the process of monitoring environmental pollution in various sectors of modern economy and for specific economic entities. Materials and methods. The methodological basis is formed by the general scientific method and special methods of cognition, such as comparative legal analysis, ecological legal analysis, statistical method and empirical method. Results. The main policy and legal documents of foreign countries are analyzed. The necessity of timely analytical processing of significant environmental indicators is proved to affect the improving quality of compiling weather maps based on meteorological radar readings, decoding spacecraft data and comparing atmospheric video recordings. Conclusions. The key directions of providing a legislative framework for the introduction of information and communication technologies that allow dynamically integrating the latest digitalization methods into environmental monitoring of environmental toxicants emissions into the environment and stabilizing the processes of climate change are identified.
