Abstract

The study aims to scientifically substantiate the influence of coal generation on population health as a factor for sustainable development in the Trans-Baikal Territory. It characterizes the population health policy as a significant driver for regional sustainability. The article presents an assessment of the demographic situation and indicators of the healthcare industry in the Trans-Baikal Territory. A direct relationship is identified between air pollution levels and the frequency of respiratory, cardiovascular, and other diseases. The study systematizes scientific approaches to the socio- economic assessment of losses from coal generation compared to gasification. To provide a comprehensive socio-economic evaluation of the project, an extended approach considering multiple factors is proposed. For instance, in addition to assessing the costs of regional gasifi cation, the cost-benefit analysis (CBA) can include an evaluation of potential improvements in living standards, increased employment, enhanced infrastructure, etc. The CBA can also account for the project's environmental consequences, leading to reduced healthcare expenditures. The research results will enhance the justification for budget investments and the provision of state support measures for projects.
