The article addresses the urgent problem of computer modeling of large-scale environmental monitoring datasets using discrete wavelet transforms. The research object consists of time series of harmful pollutant concentrations in the atmosphere, including nitrogen oxides, benzene, and sulfur dioxide, collected from automated stations in Central and Eastern Europe. The input data are characterized by high stochasticity, noise, missing values, and temporal shifts, which significantly com- plicate the extraction of trends and patterns required for forecasting.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the latency of criminal offenses against the environment. It is noted that the presence of a high level of latency of the studied torts indicates: an unsatisfactory state of their registration; a decrease in the possibilities of applying measures of influence on such illegal acts; a significant violation of the principle of inevitability of punishment. It was found that the majority of the analyzed illegal acts have a predominantly medium and high level of latency, as well as a natural character.

The article is devoted to the study of global and domestic trends in the specialization of the Commissioner in the field of environmental rights protection, as well as the necessity and possibility of implementing this institutional mechanism for the protection of environmental rights in Ukraine.

In the article, the author studies foreign experience in the creation and functioning of the ombudsman institution in the ecological sphere, and considers the positions of scholars regarding the prospects for introducing a corresponding position in Ukraine.

The article carries out a comprehensive study of the prevention of environmental criminal offenses by prosecutors using budget funds. The essence of the social and legal status of the Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine in the state mechanism for the prevention of environmental criminal offenses using budget funds is determined and clarified, the formation of the Prosecutor’s Office as a crime prevention subject is investigated.

Ukraine currently has an imperfect system for the collection and transportation of municipal solid waste (MSW). This system needs to be improved and constantly adapted to the increasing volumes and types of household waste due to the growth of the urban population, improved welfare and changes in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. The article identifies the peculiarities of Ukraine's environmental policy in the context of the European integration process.

Ukraine and the world face the task of creating an effective system of green logistics that will help reduce the negative impact on the environment and support sustainable development. This task requires innovative solutions.

The article is devoted to the study of domestic and foreign trends in environmental justice.

To solve the set goal, the following research methods were used, in particular: the method of scientific observation is to form the topic and purpose of the research; comparative legal method in the study of foreign experience of environmental justice; logical method – for theoretical generalization and formulation of research conclusions.

The article is devoted to the study of the state, problems and prospects of ensuring the sustainable use of woody forest biomass.

Most of the bioenergy resources used in Ukraine for energy production are woody forest biomass. At the same time, there is a dangerous tendency to exceed the use of woody forest biomass above its potential.

The norms governing the use of woody forest biomass contain various normative legal acts of Ukraine. However, the general concept of “woody forest biomass” is not defined in domestic legislation.

There is a wide range of substantive and procedural rights related to the environment (sometimes called «environmental rights»).

These include material rights, such as the rights to a healthy environment, to life, and to clean air and water. They also include procedural rights such as rights to access to information, public participation in environmental protection, access to justice and non-discrimination.

This article considers the problem of formalization of elements and binary connections of multifunctional data, which are components of cyber-physical systems. The concept of a free and active element of a complex system and its classes relatively interact with environment resources and consumer information messages. Six attributes of binary relationship elements such as information, material, energy, optics, management, and general have been classified. The table shows four classes of active interaction between elements of complex systems of signs.
