“…Similar problems are typical for other Arctic regions, for example, for Alaska (USA). [14]. Thus, modern research shows that social investment projects of mining companies, including in the Arctic zone, should take into account the problems of climate change and adaptation of economic activities to it, which significantly affect the interests and needs of the local population [15].…”

Social Investing Modeling for Sustainable Development of the Russian Arctic

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The method of the social investing of the Arctic subsoil users is considered in this article. As the portfolio of social investments is formed based on the interests of indigenous peoples, the authors used expert assessment and sociological research for social investing modeling. A two-stage procedure for forming a portfolio of such projects is proposed. An approach has also been developed for assessing and selecting investment projects for the Arctic sustainable development according to different criteria of optimality. The authors substantiate the need for a new approach to sustainable development of the Arctic, based not on compensation for the negative consequences of industrial development used in many countries, but on social investment. In this article the proposed approach is tested on the case of the Arctic indigenous community in Taimyr and the optimal social investing portfolio is justified.

“…Такой подход предполагает увязку развития синей экономики в части социальноэкономического развития прибрежных территорий с климатическими изменениями, решением задач по снижению загрязнения Мирового океана, сохранению и рациональному использованию природных ресурсов, развитию возобновляемой энергетики и др. 1 Устойчивое и комплексное управление синей экономикой на национальном уровне основывается на применении проектного подхода и таких инструмен- Анализ развития прибрежных арк тических территорий тесно связан с оценкой экологических и климатических рисков [4], с обеспечением экологической и социальной безопасности коренных народов Севера при добыче полезных ископаемых [5]. Рассматриваемые методы исследования охватывают также вопросы оценки и компенсации убытков коренных народов Севера в зоне реализации проектов добывающих компаний на территориях традиционного природопользования [6].…”

The article deals with the issues of economic development of the coastal territories of the Russian Arctic (blue economy). The author assesses the state and development of certain sectors of the blue economy, including marine (coastal) biological resources, mineral resources and hydrocarbons, renewable energy, seaports and infrastructure, coastal tourism. He shows the influence of the economy of coastal territories on socio-economic development, the creation of new jobs, the investment attraction, the traditional crafts of the indigenous peoples of the North and the improvement of the population living standards. The author identifies the development trends of the Arctic coastal territories, which consist in the complex nature of industrial development of the territory taking into account the requirements of environmental protection, the development of renewable energy sources (solar, wind energy), modernization of port infrastructure, creation of a network of specially protected natural Arctic territories.

“…The Tomtor deposit is expected to yield 200,000 tons of ore per year, with its ensuing transportation for processing [5,6]. Obviously, the implementation of this large-scale project in the Arctic will be fraught with numerous environmental and climate-related risks [7][8][9]. It will have an impact on the traditional lands and economy of indigenous peoples [10][11][12][13].…”

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The article addresses the issues of route selection for minerals’ transportation based on social, economic, and environmental factors to ensure sustainability in the Arctic. The case of the Tomtor deposit of rare earth metals in Yakutia is considered in the paper. The authors analyze its impact on traditional lands and the environment. To ensure sustainability and to optimize the natural resources’ use for route selection for minerals’ transportation in the Arctic, a system of criteria is proposed. It covers not only the cost of transportation and the distance from the deposit to the processing point, but also the damage to traditional lands of indigenous peoples, and environmental and social risks. An algorithm for choosing the optimal solution for the conservation of natural resources and traditional lands during the transportation of minerals is proposed. It depends on the developed criteria. The proposed approaches can be used during industrial development and investment in the Arctic to optimize the routes of mineral resources’ transportation.
