Abstract

Sustainable development of the Russian Federation, including its individual territorial entities, is a strategic area of socio-economic development. The Kemerovo Region is an old-industry region with a traditional techno-economic paradigm, where degradation of natural landscapes, environmental pollution, and morbidity of the population act as “sore” points of sustainable development and generate an outflow of a significant part of the population. Structural analysis of the gross regional product of the Kemerovo region - Kuzbass revealed imbalances in favor of mining during the post-Soviet period. It is also a regrettable fact that the share of investments aimed at environmental protection and rational use of natural resources in the total investments is extremely small, which has a disturbing effect in the further implementation of the concept of sustainable development. We believe that it is the quality of structural changes that determines the sustainability of economic development and the stabilization of its growth in the long term. The presented indicators characterizing the sectoral makeup of the economy of the Kemerovo region - Kuzbass demonstrate the transition of the economy from the late industrial type with a predominance in its structure of industries producing goods with high added value to the early industrial type, specializing in the extraction of natural resources. Increasing production potential is limited by the growth of the extractive industries, which poses a threat to environmental safety and, in general, limits the potential for sustainable development.
