The article describes the development of self-regulation in environmental management in Russia as a factor of sustainable development of its territories. The urgency is due to the lack of efficiency of the Russian natural resources legislation, the need to find new ways of its improvement, the increased attention of the State towards the institution of self-regulation of business activities as an alternative to government regulation in various fields, including the sphere of nature. The author examines peculiarities and possibilities of the environmental management for the development of self-regulation, assesses the current legislation in the sphere of self-regulation and environmental management, shows the current status of self-regulation in the sphere of nature. The conclusions about possible and prospective forms and directions of self-regulation development in the environmental management in the Russian Federation are made. The article considers alternative forms of self-regulation in environmental management, including specific natural resources existing in the world and in the Russian system of voluntary environmental certification, and shows their efficiency to ensure sustainable natural resource use and prospects for their further development. It is justified that taking into account the specifics of natural resource relationships, self-regulation in environmental management may develop in different forms and models, not only in the form of creation and actions of self-regulatory organizations in accordance with the Federal law "On Self-Regulating Organizations".
