Abstract

The paper examines the ecological and economic aspects of managing the sustainable development of the Volga regions. A group of developed regions of the Volga region with a diversified economy is singled out, which rely on the manufacturing industry and on the extractive industry, which is reflected in the nature of the formation of the gross regional product and affects the values of indices of sustainable development. The characteristic for some regions of the Volga region is given according to their development in accordance with the ecological-economic index, the human development index and the index of the ecological footprint. In the sustainable development strategies of the key regions of the Volga region a comparison is made between environmental, social and economic development indicators. There is insufficient attention to environmental indicators. Competitive characteristics of the regions of the Volga region are reflected mainly through the prism of the human development index and also use insufficient data on the state of the environment and the use of natural resources. Integral socio-ecological and economic assessment of developed regions of the Volga region was made on three key indicators of sustainable development. The raw nature of the economic development of the Volga regions, characterized by a high dependence on the extraction of mineral resources, not only does not correspond to the idea of modernizing the economy, but also exacerbates the complex ecological situation.
