    annual REPORT WWF-RUSSIA Dear Friends! In 2012 the world’s three largest powers – China, Russia, and the United States – held national elections, and saw changes occur in their governments, including in those agencies responsible for environmental protection. In Russia, a new mechanism for public participa- tion in decision-making – «Open Government» – was implemented, and our experts are participating actively in this process. In 2012, the President of Russia affi rmed the Principles for State Environmental Policy. We at WWF proposed developing such a document during a meeting with Russia’s president in 2010, and now, fewer than two years later, our country has set its fi rst goals for what we hope to achieve in protecting the natural environment. Land of the Leopard National Park was created in Primorsky Krai, twelve years after our Igor Chestin proposal, and now the Far eastern leopard has reliable protection. For us at WWF-Russia, Director of WWF-Russia probably the most dramatic event was wide-scale support for our draft law to protect Candidate of Science, oceans from oil pollution, a time when 120,000 people signed an internet petition during Biology Academician, Earth Hour. It was especially welcome that the State Duma approved this law prior to New Russian Academy Year’s Eve. This is our fi rst use of such a signature-gathering mechanism, and we will defi - of Natural Sciences nitely continue this practice in 2013. You can read more about this on page 30. There was also saddening news – the Arctic is heating more quickly than the remainder of the planet, and September saw the smallest ever sea ice extent in the history of its record- ing.

  • “The Systematic and Unsystematic Risk Influence on the Development Strategy for Fashion Industry Subjects in the Emerging Markets”
    Journal of Business & Economic Policy Vol. 5, No. 2, June 2018 doi:10.30845/jbep.v5n2p12 “The Systematic and Unsystematic Risk Influence on the Development Strategy for Fashion Industry Subjects in the Emerging Markets” Anna Khvorostyanaya Lomonosov Moscow State University Moscow, Russian Federation Annotation In emerging markets, a crucial role is played by systematic and unsystematic risk management. This article analyses the impact of multifarious risks such as political and cultural on companies operations that deals in the fashion industry. Political risks and terrorism are exogenous risk-factors on which the company's strategist can hardly influence. However, a cultural risk-factor is amenable to management. Ignoring the last can reduce the investment effectiveness or even cause irreparable financial collapse. Introduction Over the past decade, many companies in the fashion industry attained exalted aims on their origin market – reaching new heights in economic development while constructing high bandwidth retail network and building intense customer communication. Though once they had faced the stagnation trend caused by market over- saturation posing a serious challenge to the ability to undertake previous tasks and gain new goals. Purposely to preserve financial stability and amplify sales pace the new markets dilation could be the best way out. Cultural and creative industries (ССI) help to drive the digital economy, form creative multipolar world, structure creative hubs, boost cities’ attractiveness and bring forth talents. According to Ernst & Young there are five global regions in CCI context (North America, Latin America and Caribbean, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East) that are definitely universal cornerstone of the global economy - For example, in 2013 they generated revenues of 2,25 billion US dollar and employed 29 million people [1].

Initially proposed by an environmental activist from Tomsk and subsequently approved by Presidential Decree, 2013 was declared as being the Year of the Environment. What was done and what wasn’t done for the protection of the environment during such a special year? Three new national parks were established. Legal norms were introduced to enforce crimi- nal responsibility for the trading in skins and other parts of endangered species of wildlife. Cubs were born at the Breeding and Rehabilitation Center for the Persian leopard – not just one, but two pairs of leopards became parents. Our recommendations to restore the status of protected forests and to encourage the forest industry to change from one that is predominantly based on extensive development into one that is much more intensive were supported by the President of the Russian Federation. Now, instead of logging primary for- Igor Chestin ests, the priority will be given to growing trees within already cleared areas.
