It is becoming increasingly clear that the future of the world
cannot be sustained without scientific support, analysis,
prediction and the use of scientific achievement. The immensity of
the problems confronting us, coupled with the limited financial
resources available, urgently demand the selection of priority
areas of research, with a global combination of scientific effort.
The new geopolitical situation has uncovered Russia's and the
former Soviet Union's scientific potential. This has given rise to
wider opportunities for involvement in work on international
projects and programmes, many of which are discussed in the present
volume. The book addresses specifically priority fields of science
in which joint, multidisciplinary research should be developed,
encompassing rational use of natural resources and regional
sustainable development, as well as the monitoring of the
biosphere's ecosystem state and the risks of natural and
anthropogenic hazards, and the creation of new materials and
technologies. The list of priorities includes Siberia's economic,
social and humanitarian problems, as well as the development of
information systems for the rapid exchange of scientific data.
There is a recognised need for the involvement of young scientists
in partnership laboratories, in a probationary capacity.
Lake Baikal is the oldest, largest and deepest lake in the world.
Its unique animal life and the beauty of the surrounding landscapes
are renowned.
The book discusses the sustainable development of the lake and its
use as a model for the rest of the world. It consolidates existing
data on the current state of the environment and economy of the
region, develops a system of indicators of sustainable
developments, makes recommendations on additional components to the
existing monitoring system and considers a legal framework and
instrument for its implementation.
