2020 is recognized as a milestone year in many national and regional development programs; it is customary to summarize the results in the context of achieving the results planned in targeted programs. Regional environmental programs are documents designed to reflect the specifics of the territory in solving the most important tasks in the field of environmental protection, the solution of which is predetermined by the regional environmental policy. It is shown that the problems of program execution are laid down at the stage of their formation. They are related in particular to the lack of coordination of environmental programs with strategic plans for regional development, the uniformity and selectivity of indicators used, etc. The need to adjust indicators in accordance with changing trends and problems of territorial development, which is especially important for the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District in connection with the activation of economic activity here, is indicated. The desire of the regions to reflect the specifics of the territory and meet the requirements outlined in the world development models explains the appearance of regional tasks in environmental programs. However, the solution of some of them is not provided with a methodological, organizational, or financial basis. Some problematic aspects of the formation of regional environmental programs are considered by using Khabarovsk krai as an example. The main reasons that cause difficulties in achieving priority goals, such as preserving landscape diversity, are highlighted. According to the main indicators, the planned results have been extended for another five years. The lack of compliance of the results with the stated goals can be explained by the lack of resulting environmental indicators in the strategic development plans for the region, the disunity of the tasks set in the regulatory legal acts of the federal subject, and by other reasons.
