An increasing scale of consumption of natural resources characterizes the modern stage of the development of the world economy. At the same time, the expansion and intensification of mining and mining work on permafrost ecosystems and near-shelf areas of the Arctic Ocean leads to an increase in the negative impact on the Arctic and Subarctic territories. In addition, as you know, permafrost landscapes are very vulnerable to anthropogenic effects, and are distinguished by weak self-healing properties. In this regard, this article proposes new approaches to the study of the natural resource potential of territories for the rational development and use of useful deposits, taking into account the environmental components and social components of the environment.
