Subject/Topic. The formation of tracks of sustainable development of territories remains an important task in the implementation of regional policy. Management decisions should be based on the results of the analysis of the socio-ecological-economic situation and the emerging trends in this area. The application of the method of sustainability window analysis based on the integration of economic, environmental and social components of sustainable development makes it possible to evaluate the quality of economic growth. Goals/Objectives. To explore the boundaries of the window of sustainability of economic development of regions, and to provide a qualitative characteristic of economic growth from a sustainability point of view. Methodology. A review of scientific sources was conducted and approaches to the assessment of sustainable development were considered. Methods of statistical and comparative analysis of data were applied. Comparable indicators that reflect the components of sustainable development of regions were calculated. Calculations were made and the boundaries of sustainable development of the North-Western Federal District (NWFD) regions were quantitatively assessed using the method of sustainability window analysis. Results. The boundaries of the sustainability window were determined for the regions of North-Western Federal District using three environmental indicators. It is revealed that not all regions of the district have the characteristics of qualitative economic growth. Calculations using «atmospheric emissions» as an environmental indicator showed that in most regions of North-Western Federal District there is a tendency to increase the available sustainability window. The calculations for the indicator «volumes of polluted wastewater discharge» also show positive trends. And for the indicator «volumes of production and consumption waste generation» only two out of ten regions have an available sustainability window, which indicates a negative trend in economic development. As a result, the most problematic area, characteristic of most regions of NWFD, has been identified, which is the «formation of production and consumption waste». Conclusions/significance. The study showed the presence of imbalances in economic growth from the perspective of sustainable development in North-Western Federal District. The method of sustainability window analysis allows using various statistical indicators that reflect economic, environmental and social processes in the region and is an accessible analytical tool. Solving the problems of waste generation reduction, waste disposal and recycling will improve the quality of economic development. Application. The method of sustainability window analysis can be used as an analytical tool for assessing the quality of economic growth. The results of the study can be practically applied in the formation of regional policy and managerial decisions of the authorities in the sphere of socio-economic development on the principles of sustainability, taking into account environmental, economic and social factors.

The concept of sustainable development has begun to be developed, namely in line with current needs and without endangering future generations. In addition to focusing on environmental issues, this concept covers economic development, environmental protection and social development. However, this concept still tends to focus on short- term economic development. With the limitation of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) and the resources we have, it is not surprising that policymakers prefer shortcuts. As a result, the quality of economic growth has deteriorated. One of the efforts to harmonize the needs of economic growth and conservation of natural resources is the concept of a Green Economy. This article discusses how to calculate economic development as seen from the amount of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from a Green Economy perspective. Batu City, as a tourism city that relies on natural conditions and its environment, needs to analyze its economic development from a Green Economy perspective in order to be sustainable. This article aimed to analyze the depletion of natural resources of the sub-sector “Provision of Accommodation and Food – Beverage” which supports tourism in Batu City. The results showed that in 2015-2019, natural resource depletion increased every year. Keywords: Sustainable Development, Green Economy, Depletion, Natural Resources

Subject. The article discusses issues that arise in evaluating and monitoring the transition to sustainable development, being important aspects researchers and politicians focus on. Successful planning of future growth and decision-making are recognized to require comprehensive actions addressing economic, environmental and social aspects of sustainability. The analysis of the sustainability window seems as one of possible methods to evaluate the quality of economic growth in line with environmental and social prospects. Objectives. The study evaluates boundaries of the sustainable economic growth of the northern regions of Russia, referring to its environmental footprint and well-being of people. Methods. We applied methods of statistical and comparative analysis and evaluated boundaries of the sustainable development of regions with the sustainability window analysis. Results. The sustainability window is proved to exist for all regions of the European North of Russia, except the Republic of Komi. However, GRP grew out of the sustainability limits in certain years. The lower bound of the sustainable economic development slowly decreased until 2013, but reassumed its growth afterwards. After 2013 an expected increase in the public well-being required higher rates of economic growth. Some regions failed to ensure them. Conclusions and Relevance. The analysis of the sustainability window and the analysis of environmental efficiency gap are critically informative for specialists in charge of planning and decision-makers. The method helps use various sets of indicators and analyze various time series, thus streamlining the elaboration of economic development scenarios, conditions in line with environmental and social sustainability.

Purpose. To create the concept of sustainable development of Ukraine in the context of global threats. Methodology. The research is based on the analysis of the components of integrated indicators and the formation of indicators based on them, which allow assessing the state of balance of socio-economic development of the national economy and determining the directions of corrective policy. In addition, the systematic approach is used to obtain the scientific results, which allowed us to consider the socio-economic development of society as the polysystem phenomenon, comparative analysis, statistical methods in comparing the situation of Ukraine with other countries, logical analysis in justifying and developing the concept of sustainable development of Ukraine in the context of globalization. Findings. The concept of sustainable development of Ukraine has been developed, which is aimed at forming the new format of social relations and the new model of economy to increase the resilience of the national economy to global threats. The components of the Sustainable Development Index were analyzed and the comparative analysis of the components of global threats to Ukraine and other countries was made. It has been determined that the most dangerous challenges for Ukraine at the present stage are the high prevalence of morbidity among the population, high infant mortality, corruption, low energy security and inefficient public administration. It has been offered that the main purpose of the concept of sustainable development of Ukraine is to create conditions for overcoming existing threats. This requires the creation of a new form of government, a new format of public relations and a new economic model. The directions of achieving the main goals of sustainable development in Ukraine have been developed: social justice, balanced economic growth, ensuring high quality of the environment, rational use of resources, demographic stability and mutually beneficial international cooperation. Originality. The authors concept of sustainable development of Ukraine is based on ensuring the ability of the national economy to take advantage of the positive external effects of globalization and thereby reduce its negative impact on society. Stages have been established. The necessity has been substantiated of introduction of consistent and interconnected measures which are aimed at changing the quality of socio-economic development of the country on the basis of using mainly intensive factors of economic growth, introduction of environmentally friendly methods of economic activity, ensuring implementation of sustainable development in the context of overcoming multidimensional poverty life expectancy, the formation of the effective system of social assistance and health care. It has been determined that the implementation of these measures will ensure the formation of the new format of social relations and the new model of economy, as well as achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Practical value. The results of the study can be used by national governments to develop the sustainable development policy, as well as by companies to operate their economic activity in the globalized space.

The purpose of this article is to examine the consequences of using the environmental variable (in its manifold appearances) to describe the dynamics of economic systems. The focus is on the ability of economic growth to guarantee sustainable use of environmental resources. A dynamic optimization technique is used as the standard theory of optimal control. Everybody knows that economists have used, and often still use, the terms economic growth and economic development in the same way. The analysis of the models proposed here is based, firstly, on the following distinction as a basic convention between two concepts: economic growth and economic development. This convention gives us a better view of the different weight that the environment takes on with respect to the economic dynamic and how this in turn influences the architecture of models. Both hypotheses and the results depend on the specific perspective from which authors have analyzed the problem. In a first case the focus is on a concept of economic progress in which collective wellbeing is directly linked to increases in income, that is to the quantity of goods (for consumption and investment) available to agents (consumers and enterprises) following growth in productivity: a case of sustainable economic growth, it means the possibility that wealth (and hence consumption) is able to increase steadily over time. Sustainable development, on the other hand, means the whole range of structural, economic, social and institutional changes accompanying growth. A case of economic progress it could be seen as a synonymous for a better quality of life, that is not only as growth in GNP: it does involve growth in income, but what is more important are often non-economic variables like the environment governance which generate services and functions contributing directly and indirectly to individual and collective wellbeing, as well as supplying the factors necessary to support productivity. In this way sustainability becomes synonymous of an economic process which does not change the basic functions of ecosystems. Sustainable development means an increase over time of a better quality of life. The environment, in all aspects, must (and can) ‘support’ this notion of the economic system, enabling it to live and grow. The conventional distinction between growth and development leads to different approaches of which we analyse some details. To conclude, the debate on sustainability allows one to compare different ethical principles. Eco-economists claim that the emphasis must be placed on the system's needs, rather than individual ones. This implies an ethical judgment on the role and rights of individuals living today as regards survival of the system and future generations' welfare. Moreover, given that individual behaviour is driven by egoistic motivations, supporters of sustainability examine how such behaviour can be modified and how such modifications can be achieved. Generally speaking quality and wealth should not trade off but an ‘open approach’ is required also adopting self-sustainability cathegory.

The article provides an overview of the effects of the resonant impact of clusters on the ability of mountain areas to adapt to the modern realities of the technological level, as well as the ability to apply innovations, attract investment in the agro-industrial and tourist cluster. A panel of indicators is presented that provides correct comparability of achievements and reflects information for aggregation by various parameters of the economic and geographical indicators of the region: the national environmental rating of the subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District; indicators of sustainable development of the Russian Federation and the North Caucasus Federal District; investment risk of the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District; the main economic and social indicators of the RSO-Alania. It is established that the geoinformation study of the use of a multicomponent indicator of the state of mountain territories is the basis for determining the vector of their further socio-economic development and justifying appropriate management decisions to stabilize economic development. The peculiarity of the approach is the selection of criteria that will be used in the development of mechanisms for the sustainable development of mountain territories according to the target indicators, in accordance with the UN resolution "Transforming our world in the field of sustainable develop-ment for the period up to 2030".

The article identifies the current state and the main rural problems that cover many levels due to the complexity and systematization. The way to solve rural problems is connected not only with the rights and interests of farmers, but also with the coordinated progress and development of the whole economy and society. Thanks to the widespread development of high-quality vocational education in rural areas, this can not only increase cultural literacy, skills and incomes of farmers, but also contribute to overall social and economic growth. Vocational education can help farmers improve their professional skills and find effective ways to solve existing problems by improving their own skills and quality. The main problems of sustainable development in rural vocational education at the policy level, management problems in vocational schools at the operational level, farmers' ideology does not meet the needs of modern social and economic development, low overall quality of rural population, unreasonable human resources structure and serious outflow population in rural areas. Reasoned solutions and countermeasures are proposed by studying the main problems of rural vocational education development, namely: to solve the problem of sustainable development of rural vocational education, the government must carefully plan the structure of rural vocational education, increase capital investment, actively implement funding for one student, guarantee the well-being of teachers, seek to narrow the gap between urban and rural education and reflect the fairness of education; organize smart teaching methods to improve the learning effect, strengthen the teaching staff, through "dual qualifications", i.e. have the knowledge and technology; to solve the ideological problems of students and parents is the use of the media for the ideological promotion of "precious skills and glorious work" throughout society. Effectively and qualitatively improve the economic development of rural areas is possible through the modernization of rural areas and the interest of farmers in scientific knowledge and technical skills, increase professional skills to improve the quality of production and labor efficiency.

The paper reflects the nature of the main technological measures that are carried out at specialized enterprises (sites) for processing waste disposal of self-propelled machines in the agro-industrial complex. Waste generation occurs at all stages of the life cycle. The product life cycle includes a number of stages, each of which involves the use of specific types of work, in the course of which there are production and consumption waste (hereinafter — waste). Considering the full life cycle of the machine, it should be understood that the production stage of the machine can last for a long time. But the time characteristic of making a particular machine at this stage will be equal to the time interval associated with making a particular instance of the machine.
