| Аннотация | Moving towards “green” economy is currently a priority direction for the development of many
countries, including Russia. One of the key aspects of the concept of green economy is achieving
decoupling or misalignment of economic growth rates, resource consumption and negative environmental
impact. The purpose of the article is to analyze the decoupling of negative environmental impact and
resource consumption in economic activity in border regions of the Russian East and the entities of the
Baikal region with cross-border economic relations with China. The research novelty lies in identifying the
possible impact of cross-border position on environmental and economic development of the areas under
review. Long-term experience of cooperation with the neighboring state demonstrates that prospects are
followed by environmental problems since the economy of Siberian and Far Eastern regions is consistently
focused on raw materials. The decoupling coefficient is calculated to identify the misalignment between
economic growth rates and environmental pollution. The use of natural values as an economic result in
calculations distinguishes this study from similar works focusing mainly on analyazing cost indicators.
The results of eco-economic analysis show that in regions of cross-border cooperation, decoupling is
manifested in discharge of contaminated wastewater. Decoupling was also revealed in most cases due to
the negative impact on the atmosphere. However, economic development in some regions is accompanied by increasing air pollution, which is most evident when considering the situation in terms of most common
pollutants and main economic activities. It has been established that rapid development of cross-border
relations with China does not significantly change the situation in the Eastern regions. Further research
prospects are related to detailed study of the aspects of eco-economic development of basic industries in
Russia and the regions of cross-border cooperation. |
