Abstract
The article presents an integral assessment of the sustainability potential of the extractive industry of the northern regions of the resource type. The purpose of the article is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of socio-economic and environmental conditions by rating the sustainability of the studied regions. The objects of the study were selected eight Russian northern regions of the resource type. The assessment was carried out using the methods of mathematical statistics: aggregation and linear scaling of primary and intermediate indicators, and the degrees of stability of the regions were also determined. It was revealed that the most stable potential of the Khanty-Mansy Autonomous Okrug-UGRA, YamalNenets Autonomous okrug and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the least stable are the Komi Republic, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The application of this methodological approach will allow the management bodies of the subjects, together with the subsoil users, to make objective decisions aimed at increasing the degree of balanced sustainable development of the northern and Arctic.
