Abstract

The Arctic and Antarctic segments of the Earth’s biosphere have a special role in homeostatic mechanisms, since they are the most “sensitive” subsystems in the general system of direct and feedback links, signaling certain ecological processes dangerous for planetary dynamic equilibrium. This puts more stringent demands on the arctic economy, because the negative environmental consequences of the “economic” pressure on the living matter of the biosphere have longer-term consequences and can become detonators of disastrous ecological processes on a planetary scale. The article is written on the basis of a report prepared for the First Scientific, Practical and Educational Arctic Conference aboard the “Krasin” icebreaker on January 23, 2018.

KEYWORDS: development of the Arctic, noospheric charter of the North, era of noosphere, survival of humankind.
