25,5 Russians died due to poor environmental conditions in 2022.
And compared to 2021, this number has grown by 9%. These statistics приводит "To be precise."
The project team conducted a study to determine how the environmental situation in Russia has changed over the past two years.
In short, half of Russians in cities breathe dirty air, industrial emissions remain virtually unchanged, freshwater pollution has reached its peak, garbage is increasing, the federal budget for "Ecology" has been cut by 22%, and the state continues to pressure environmental activists.
In 2023 alone, five international environmental foundations—Greenpeace, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Bellona Foundation, the Altai Project, and the Wild Salmon Center—were declared undesirable. Their Russian branches were forced to close.
We've compiled the most interesting and shocking findings from the "To Be Precise" project on cards!
Note: Environmental statistics are published with a lag, so the most recent data currently available to researchers only covers 2022.
