Annotation: The relevance of the issue is determined by the importance of achieving sustainable development of the region without harming the environment. At the present stage, there are problems associated with environmental pollution, as well as with climate changes that are irreversible. In this regard, the views of scientists and practitioners should be directed towards the forming of a new model of economic growth without harming the environment, formed in the concept of sustainable development. The purpose of the presented research is to develop a methodology for assessing the level of sustainable development of regions and calculate the sustainable development index. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of an original author’s methodology for assessing the level of sustainable development of regions. The methodological tools used in the article include the application of a systematic approach, in which a set of methods and techniques was used: content analysis, statistical methods of analysis, generalization, rating, graphical and tabular methods of data visualization. As a result of the research, a methodology for assessing the level of sustainable development of Russian regions has been developed, a sustainable development index has been calculated, and the place of each region in the sociosphere-economy-technosphere-ecology system has been determined. The presented research results will be useful to public authorities for the forming of regional policy.
