The study "Sustainable Development of Mining Regions in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation" by Natalia Kirsanova, Marina Nevskaya, and Semyon Raikhlin focuses on the sustainable development of mining regions in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). The authors emphasize the importance of balancing economic, social, and environmental goals in the context of the region's unique conditions. They propose a method to identify AZRF regions where mining plays a crucial role in socio-economic development, such as the Komi Republic, Nenets Autonomous District, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, Yakutia, and Chukotka Autonomous District. The study uses multi-factor regression analysis to confirm that living standards and social standards in these regions depend on income and fiscal capacity levels, highlighting the state's responsibility in supporting regional development. The authors advocate for reconsidering the distribution of rental income between the budgets of these mining regions and the federal budget to ensure sustainable development. The results can inform state policy and strategies for the AZRF's development. The study also discusses the geopolitical and climatic challenges facing the region, emphasizing the need for international cooperation and sustainable practices to address environmental and social issues.The study "Sustainable Development of Mining Regions in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation" by Natalia Kirsanova, Marina Nevskaya, and Semyon Raikhlin focuses on the sustainable development of mining regions in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF).
