The solution of climate problems, accompanied by the development and implementation of carbon regulation mechanisms in international markets, determines the need to reduce the carbon intensity of the Russian economy in order to maintain its competitiveness. The article analyzes the influence of production factors on total CO₂ emissions in Russia on the basis of official statistics. During the study, it was hypothesized that the improvement of production factors will contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions. To test it, a simulation based on panel data was carried out. Special attention was paid to the problem of CO₂ emissions by sectors of economic activity.

The article discusses the problem of land resources use in agricultural enterprises. It dwells on the issues of production factors interaction and their impact on the efficiency of agricultural land utilization. It identifies production parameters of land resources utilization in the operating cycle of the company. A model of an agricultural enterprise with an indicative value of the industrial complex center of inertia is proposed.
