The main purpose of the present article was systematization of gains and losses on inter-regional competition for environmental resources. Method, methodology of work: In this paper were used the methods of logic and comparative analysis, generalized method.

Results: As the results of the study highlighted the major losses of inter-regional cooperation in the field of competitive consumption of environmental resources of border regions of Russia. Some regional mechanisms for the implementation of environmental policy in the border regions were marked. The most important benefits and advantages of cross-border cooperation in the use of environmental resources were also concretized.
