The formation of a mechanism for sustainable development of the region (to the formulation of the problem)

Abstract

Sustainable development is the only process that provides, based on the rational use of natural resources, the optimal development of economic sectors, full employment of the population and the growth of people's standard of living. The concept of sustainable development today is, rather, a scientific concept of economics of nature management than a real scheme of economic growth and development. Therefore, in modern economic conditions, the study of the formation of the mechanism of sustainable development of the region seems extremely relevant. The article is devoted to the problems of forming a mechanism for the balanced development of the region, the basis of the economy of which are mineral resources. The problem under consideration is proposed to solve on the basis of the concept of sustainable development of the economic system, the criteria of which are to preserve or improve the quality of the environment, achieve a certain quality of life of the population and increase the efficiency of environmental management. The implementation of such approach is based on the investment strategy, which involves the possibility of using the financial resources of the trust fund, formed at the expense of deductions of subjects of natural resource use from the natural rent. The amount of financial resources of the trust fund is proposed to be determined by calculating the indicators of the cadastre of mineral deposits on the basis of the evaluation of cash flows.
