“…The importance of environmental factors in assessing the results of sustainable development of industrial regions, repeatedly noted by the authors [11; 15], is confirmed by an increasing number of research on this topic. The set of environmental indicators depends on the objectives of the research and usually includes data on the amount of emissions and discharges of pollutants, state of soils and surface waters of the region of presence, air pollution, landscape transformation [16][17][18]. Obviously, the emergence and development of industrial clusters is based on the systemic change in the environment.…”

At present in Russia there is no unified generally accepted concept for assessing the results of sustainable development of industrial regions. In the paper, based on a review of Russian and foreign research, the authors have made an attempt to generalize modern concepts, and also present their vision of assessing the results of industrial regions sustainable development. The urgency of the research is due to the need for the practical implementation of the sustainable development concept. The authors see the essence of sustainable development of industrial regions in an organization of current activities and meeting the needs of modern residents of the region, which would not harm natural environment. It has been noted that large industrial plants, evaluating the results of sustainable development, are beginning to use foreign methods. As the influence of large enterprises forming an industrial cluster in the region on the economy, society and natural environment is great, the authors consider it expedient to use their developments in the field of assessing the results of sustainable development. To assess the results of sustainable development of industrial regions, it has been proposed to use 33 indicators of GRI Standards which include economic, environmental and social “thematic standards”.

Mining clusters, which are large industrial formations, specialized in functional characteristics and located in a relatively small area, have a complex effect on the spatial development of the territories of their presence for a long time. The impact of mining clusters of ferrous metallurgy on the spatial development of territories where they are located has been considered in the paper. The authors have revealed several key interrelated aspects of the influence of mining clusters of ferrous metallurgy on the spatial development of territories: production and economic, financial, social, environmental and integration ones. The highlighted aspects of the impact on the spatial development of territories have been considered on the example of the Kursk-Belgorod mining cluster, formed at the richest iron ore deposits of the Kursk-Belgorod magnetic anomaly. The mining cluster is based on a complex of enterprises specializing in the extraction of iron ore. The Kursk-Belgorod mining cluster has been operating for many decades. Practically all aspects of production and infrastructure projects, social development, technological development, budget replenishment, and the environmental situation depend on the activities of cluster enterprises. There are two pretty big monocities on the cluster's territory, the livelihoods of which are completely dependent on the cluster's enterprises.

“…The unfavorable environmental situation aggravates the problems of residents. City-forming large industrial companies adversely affect all elements of the natural environment: from groundwater to atmospheric air (Tost et al, 2020;Witkowski & Hejmanowsk, 2020). Experts note that the Arctic environmental problems are exacerbated by the low degree of self-healing of the natural environment (Tishkov et al, 2020).…”
