| Аннотация | The analysis is based on P. Victor model of green growth. From the point of view of conceptual
applicability (to diagnose environmental sustainability of economic development) and availability of
tools, it is the simplest, most illustrative and universal in the range of indicators. The key parameters of
the presented research model are relative indicators of negative impacts on natural systems per unit of
economic result. The research novelty lies in taking into account economic and environmental indicators
to assess the quality of life and the degree of environmental economic development of Northern regions.
Assessment results in the Komi Republic reveal a generally low level of environmental quality of the
region’s economic development for 2007–2016. Some progress towards “green” growth was observed
in terms of discharge of contaminated wastewater into water surface bodies; stable economic situation
in the “brown” growth zone is typical for atmospheric pollutant emissions, the features if “black”
growth of economic results determined the volume of formation and disposal of toxic waste of industrial
enterprises. To reduce the negative impacts on the environment it is necessary to introduce the best
technology available for production facilities and waste processing; as well as ensure waste processing
at the level of 40% of higher. The model is also used to study the processes of negative impacts on
the environment in the context of typical regions of the Northwestern federal district. The research
results presented significant differentiation of economic efficiency and eco-intensity in the resourceproducing
Northern regions of the Northwestern federal district. Analysis shows that a significant part
of regions with high indicators of budget and economic efficiency also have better prospects in the context of “green” growth. The research prospect is to consider the situation from the point of view of
the efficiency of environmental activities in the Northern regions in terms of environmental damage,
investment activity related to environmental protection. |
