Аннотация:The article discusses the concept and goals of sustainable development. The sustainable development of all countries is aimed at eradicating poverty and hunger, conserving the planet's resources, ensuring prosperity for all, and so on. To achieve the goals of Sustainable Development, various instruments of state regulation are used, for example, work is underway to monitor the indicators necessary to achieve such goals. The calculation of the urban environment quality index, the quality of life index, etc. in the Russian Federation provide an effective assessment of the state of the urban environment and determine the vectors for their development. At the global level, the ESG-assessment of regions is carried out as part of a systematic approach to doing business within the framework of sustainable development.
