Abstract
Today, the nature of environmental threats, both natural and man-made, is changing across the world. The dangers and threats are becoming more interdependent. Society needs to not only introduce advanced technologies and respond to the challenges of environmental hazards in time but also create legal fail-safes to ensure environmental security. The present study aims to analyze constitutional and legal norms for the provision of environmental security and directions for their improvement. Based on an analysis of legislation and legal literature, the paper defines constitutional and legal provisions of environmental security and analyzes the provisions of the Russian Constitution that act as a legal base for the development, adoption, and implementation of the legal norms to ensure the country's environmental security. Proceeding from an expert survey, proposals are formulated for improving constitutional norms by making them environmentally friendly to better ensure environmental security. The authors conclude on the need to ensure further improvement of constitutional provisions in the sphere of environmental security in accordance with the theory and practice of modern constitutionalism and guaranteeing its stability and inviolability.
