Abstract
The article deals with one of the main elements of strategic sustainability of Russian regions - environmental and energy sustainability. The author proves the interrelation of energy and pollution intensity of regional economy. The article presents results of the factors analysis affecting the changes in energy and pollution intensity of GRP. The study allowed to draw conclusions about the most important factors to be taken into account in the formation of environmental and energy policy in regions. In addition, the article provides recommendations for the strategy of sustainable development in the regions of Russia.
Highlights
Regional sustainability is one of the most important goals of socio-economic development in Russia
To assess the factors affecting the level of energy intensity of the economy and the level of “cleanness” of energy consumption in the regions of Russia, the author used a variety of indicators, including indicators of the economy structure of the regions, climate indicators, technological indicators, spatial, the level of urbanization and a number of others
The study concludes that it is necessary to consider the problems of increasing energy intensity and reducing the pollution intensity as part of the overall problem of strategic sustainability management in the Russian regions
Summary
Regional sustainability is one of the most important goals of socio-economic development in Russia. As a result of Russia's signing of the framework convention on climate change at the climate conference in Paris [1], the important aspect of environmental sustainability is the reduction of climate impact This objective should be set at regional level, the key instruments of Paris agreement are energy efficiency increase and greenhouse gases emissions (carbon intensity) decrease. The complex studies analyze the impact of the regional economy structure on its energy intensity [11], calculate the energy load on the regional environmental system [3] and develop forecasts of energy and petroleum consumption by road transport, taking into account the prospects for transition to alternative sources [5]. Approbation of various models for analyzing factors affecting the greenhouse gas emissions dynamics is the focus of attention [13]
