Formation of favorable environment for the population of the South Siberian macro-region

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of creating an environment favorable for healthy and full life in the regions of Southern Siberia in accordance with the goals of national projects and the UN Sustainable Development Goals recognized by the Russian Federation. The article critically analyzes various ratings of Russian regions (ecological, ESG-ranking, urban environment quality index, “Green Patrol”, IQ of cities, etc.), their advantages and disadvantages. A new mechanism for comparing  Russian  regions  within  the  framework  of  the  national  project  is  considered,  and  the  results  of  its  testing  in  the South Siberian regions are given. The ways of joint solution of specific environmental and social tasks by government bodies, business and society are outlined, including through the activation of public participation in them (within the framework of “green  finance” by  issuing  special  bonded  regional  loans),  as  well  as  rethinking  the  migration  and  social  policy  of  the state, careful analysis and consideration of regional peculiarities.
