A program for improvement for 2025 is being developed in the forestry sector of the Republic of Belarus.
The program will cover a wide range of work: from the improvement of administrative buildings of forestries and forest farms to significant social projects involving members of preschool and school forestries. Particular attention will be paid to the sanitary condition of the forest fund, the development of public recreation areas, and the installation of visual propaganda on environmental topics.
In addition, the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Belarus will carry out a number of actions to improve and restore forests in 2025. In particular, the campaign “Give the forest a new life!” launched in 2024 will continue. The campaign “Clean Forest” is planned for the spring and autumn of 2025.
In addition, it is planned to hold a competition for the best improvement of forest fund territories and administrative buildings among forestry enterprises and their structural divisions. The conservation and restoration of forest resources makes an important contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals 13, 15 and the other SDGs by the Republic of Belarus.
Since January 1, 2025, a map of social facilities accessible to all categories of citizens, including persons with disabilities and the physically weakened, was launched on the web portal of the public cadastral map of the Republic of Belarus.
The map shows social infrastructure facilities in the country: healthcare, education, culture, sports, social services, shops, etc. To understand whether an object is accessible, you need to go to the public cadastral map and find the desired object. Green color indicates fully accessible objects, and yellow color indicates partially accessible objects. At the same time, at each facility you can see which elements of the accessible environment are equipped. The information will be promptly updated.
The map of accessibility of social infrastructure facilities was developed by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Republic of Belarus within the framework of the AIS “Accessible Environment” and contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal 10 and the other SDGs by the Republic of Belarus.
To inform the population about the state of the environment and measures for its protection, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Belarus has prepared the ecological bulletin “State of the Natural Environment of Belarus”.
The publication presents the main results:
Dissemination of up-to-date information on the state of the environment makes an important contribution to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
One of the components of the National Strategy for Sustainable Development of Belarus until 2040 is compliance with ESG standards, which imply for businesses a responsible attitude to the environment, high social obligations and best corporate governance practices.
To implement the principles of ESG and sustainable development in the activities of business entities, the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Belarus has developed methodological recommendations.
The methodological recommendations advise businesses to choose the most relevant goals, objectives and methods for achieving sustainable development, commensurate with the nature of the activity and the scale of the impact on the economy, society and the environment. Along with the goals, businesses should “develop and adopt internal ESG documents” and build an organizational management model necessary to effectively ensure that ESG factors are taken into account at all levels of decision-making. Specific measures should also be implemented. For example, increasing the number of jobs for people with disabilities, introducing a waste management system, including sorting, recycling, disposal and reuse, etc.
The introduction of the ESG concept into the work of companies makes an important contribution to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by the Republic of Belarus.
