The project will focus on pre-investment studies of identified priority hot spots with known significant transboundary consequences. Additional activities will include the necessary support in the development of legal, policy, institutional and economic mechanisms and instruments required to strengthen protection of the marine environment from anthropogenic activities. The PDF-B activities will concentrate on the review of existing legislation and administrative arrangements in the Russian Federation, analysis of selected pre-investment studies already carried out by the Russian Federation, definition of procedures for the comprehensive evaluation and prioritization of existing activities in the Russian Federation contributing to the damages and threats to the Arctic marine environment, and definition of precedures for estimating incremental costs of identified priority interventions.
