The regional development path depends on managing innovation resources. However, increasing the quantity of innovation activity and managing innovation resources only by financial indicators does not guarantee progress in sustainable development. This paper argues that basic conditions for effective sustainability-oriented innovation activities are: (1) the accordance of relevant activities with sustainable development ethics and (2) their marked focus on systemic and long-term sustainable development targets. These parameters can be considered fundamental principles for designing and developing effective sustainability-oriented innovation systems and innovation policies. Analysis of the two basic principles precedes estimation of the effectiveness of innovation activities, innovation systems, or innovation policies. In this paper, a special typological analysis technique was applied to assess basic conditions for the effectiveness of sustainability-oriented innovation activities observed in the case of the Tyumen region, Russia. It was found that since 2009 the Tyumen regional innovation support system has not been conceptually designed in accordance with sustainable development ethics or considering a long-term vision. Therefore, the projects themselves afford only temporary solutions to regional problems by implementing innovations that mainly have short-term and mid-term social–economic effects. As a result of the analysis of fundamental conditions for sustainability-oriented innovation activities in Tyumen region, this paper proposes recommendations on necessary measures for redesigning decision-making principles of regional innovation support systems in order to significantly increase the potential impact on the development of a truly sustainable regional economy.

“…This challenges subsistence-based lifestyles in terms of income development and inequality, and creates competition between established and new economic activities [221,244] (see section BRole of indigenous peoples^). Further, limited opportunities of local populations to take part in new economic activities in the North need to be considered, for example because of a limited workforce (both in numbers and qualification) for new economic sectors [245], and an often-used fly-in-fly-out system for Arctic projects, which in turn impacts the social cohesion of communities [246][247][248][249][250]. Generally, while economic growth opportunities exist, Arctic economies will continue to be subject to uncertainty and volatility due to being increasingly intertwined with global economic developments [200,251].…”

Societal Impacts of a Rapidly Changing Arctic

This review article makes six observations about the current body of research on the societal impacts of a changing Arctic. First, climate change and globalisation are the dominant drivers of societal impacts in the Arctic. Second, many contributions focus on the impacts in concrete sectors of society, often from an opportunities-and-risks perspective, which tends to blur the boundary to more policy-oriented work. Third, the mantra of the sustainable development of the Arctic or Arctic sustainability pervades considerations of Arctic societal impacts. Fourth, societal and environment change in the Arctic is increasingly analysed using the image of the Global Arctic, highlighting the inextricable linkages between Arctic and global processes and systems and thus the entangled fate of the North and the entire globe. Fifth, an increasing number of actors is seen as being involved in societal and environmental transformations in the Arctic, often conveyed through the (often ill-defined) stakeholder concept. Sixth, Arctic indigenous peoples are depicted as the group most vulnerable to the societal impacts of a changing Arctic, but are increasingly the subject of research in the form of rights-holders and active participants in governance, law, politics, and research. Challenges for future research include achieving greater clarity and reflexivity around key concepts, and de-essentialising the Arctic via the use of comparative methods on cases both within and beyond the Arctic.

“…In addition, the consistency of income taxes is the involvement in the mechanism of social regulation of all its elements, which contributes to the achievement of equity in income distribution [1]. Due to the tough climatic conditions in the Arctic regions, the compensation of expenses of population livelihood is significantly higher than in other Russian regions [2][3]. Despite high average per capita incomes, the living standard of the population of the Arctic regions is approaching the living standard of the average Russian, although, it would seem, incomes should be higher than the average Russian level because northern allowances are included in population income of the Arctic regions.…”

Income tax, on the one hand, is key and revenuegenerating for regional budgets, on the other -is social nature and affects the level of real incomes of the population. This article describes to assessing the impact of the existing tax burden of an individual on the level of his life and the ability to form savings. The main purpose of the research is to establish complementarily between tax burden of an individual and his savings level based on an equitable distribution of population incomes, taking into account the characteristics of the region. This assessment is particularly relevant in the regions of the Russian Arctic, where, due to the harsh climatic conditions of residence, compensation for the costs of livelihood of the population is significantly higher than in other regions of the Russian Federation. The incomes, savings, tax burden and the standard of living of the population in the Russian Arctic are analyzed. The trend dynamics has been identified and the interrelationships of the studied indicators have been determined. Based on the author's methodological approach, the maximum possible tax burden is determined, which reflects the maximum level of the tax rate in comparison with the personal income of an individual residing in the regions of the Arctic zone. A proposal to improve the system of taxation of individuals for the most equitable distribution of the tax burden in increased discomfort conditions of residence of people are formed. To address regional specifics, we suggest using the subsistence minimum, for example, as a non-taxable minimum for forming the tax base providing a socially fair redistribution of income between different segments of the population and leveling, thereby, the difference in living in certain territories.
