Abstract: This paper proposes a method for determining the most environmentally unfavorable district of the Russian Federation. For each district the area, the maximum volume of emissions into the atmosphere, the maximum discharge of untreated water, the maximum amount of waste according to the data for 2023 are taken into account. On the basis of these data the radius-vectors in four-dimensional space characterizing the environmental “tension” of each district are determined. Using the SPSS program a dendrogram was constructed, based on the results of the study of which three clusters of districts close in the degree of “tension” were identified. The most favorable districts include the North Caucasian and Southern Federal Districts. The most unfavorable is the Siberian Federal District. The other districts occupy an intermediate position. In parallel, the universities available in the districts were considered and their participation in the International Youth Environmental Forums held from 2021 to 2024 was studied. The contribution of each HEI to the participation in the forums during this period was determined. The correspondence between the environmental situation in the district and the participation of universities in the forums was found. The minimum participation in the forums was taken by universities of the North Caucasian and Southern Federal Districts. Maximum participation in the forums was taken by universities of the Siberian and Ural federal districts in relation to the total number of universities in these districts.
