Analysis of environmental and economic security of the Arctic coastal regions

the issues and problems of ensuring the environmental and economic security of the regions in the context of a deteriorating environmental situation, as well as the ongoing sanctions pressure and the spread of coronavirus infection, are of particular relevance. At the same time, regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, where the main reserves of oil, natural gas, aluminum, gold, platinum and other minerals are concentrated, are exposed to adverse factors more than regions located in the central and southern parts of the country. This is due to the industrial orientation of the economic activity of most Arctic cities, as well as the harsh living conditions typical of the regions of this group. the article determines that, despite the significant number of scientific articles, monographs and other works devoted to the problems of ensuring environmental and economic security, there is a certain gap in issues related to the comparative analysis of environmental and economic security of territorial systems. It is also concluded that the key element in conducting a comparative analysis is the choice of indicators, which should reflect the state of the environment, as well as the economy of the region. the indicators should not only be representative, i.e., objective, but also easy to interpret. The analysis carried out as part of the study showed that of all the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District has the highest level of environmental and economic security. The Republic of Karelia and the Krasnoyarsk Territory turned out to be outsiders. During the comparative analysis, the Komi Republic, which has no borders with the sea/ocean, was excluded from the Arctic coastal regions.
