The authors consider the integration of the concept of sustainability in the member countries of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC). The concept of sustainable development is viewed through the prism of economic, social and environmental approaches.   The subject of the study is the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the BSEC countries.   The purpose of the research is to study the integration of the goals and indicators of sustainable development in the national policies of the BSECcountries.   The relevance lies in the international community’s growing attention to forming a vector for balanced socio-economic development, taking into account current social, demographic and environmental factors.   The scientific novelty lies in the analysis of the advancement of the concept of sustainable development in the BSEC countries, as well as the level of integration of the SDGs in the national policies of states.   As part of the study, the authors used the methods of institutional analysis, system analysis, analysis of statistical data and official documents. Based on the results of the analysis, it was revealed that despite the high level of integration of the SDGs within the framework of the BSEC, not all goals and indicators of sustainable development formed by the United Nations (UN) are tracked in countries. The authors concluded that the national characteristics of the economy, the social sphere and the environmental situation push states to adapt individual indicators to national specifics.

This article presents an analysis of the socio-economic development and fiscal position of the subjects of the Russian Federation with low financial sustainability. The existing domestic and foreign approaches to understanding the concept of "financial sustainability of territory" are analyzed. It is proved that the regions with low financial sustainability include the subjects of the Russian Federation with a high level of gratuitous receipts in the structure of the regional budget and lagging behind the average Russian regions in terms of basic economic parameters. The relevance of the study lies in identifying problems that hinder the economic growth of such regions, as well as in developing measures to improve interbudget relations. ITo carry out the analysis and identify the specifics of management of these territories, the authors identify a group of regions with low financial sustainability, having different geographical location and degree of intensity of this problem (the Republics of Mordovia and Tyva, the Trans-Baikal Territory, the Pskov and Oryol Regions, the Jewish Autonomous Region), and apply an original methodological approach based on the assessment of the socio-economic situation and the fiscal position. As a result, both general socio-economic (depopulation, low wages, unemployment, depreciation of fixed assets, low investment and innovation activity) and fiscal (budget imbalance, low level of financial independence, debt burden) problems of these subjects of the Russian Federation, as well as problems specific to each of them, are identified. Measures to enhance economic development and growth of the income base of regions with low financial sustainability are proposed, and suggestions for improving regulatory legal acts in the field of state regional management are formulated.
