Abstract: The study is devoted to identifying the possibilities and limitations of inclusive economic growth of the resource-extracting region of the Kemerovo region – Kuzbass using the regional EKC model (environmental Kuznets curve). The purpose of the study: to confirm (refute) the hypothesis that the increase in the volume of industrial production of the gross regional product (GRP) in the Kemerovo region - Kuzbass does not harm the environment and the quality of human life as important components of inclusive economic growth of the region. The necessity and possibility of constructing the EKC model as an indicator of inclusive economic growth of the resource-extracting region of the Kemerovo region - Kuzbass is proven. A database of statistical data necessary for constructing the Kuzbass regional EKC model has been formed. Intermediate versions of the Kuzbass EKC have been constructed using the example of individual types of pollutants (PP) and an interpretation of the results has been given. It has been confirmed that the growth of GRP per capita is accompanied by an increase in the volume of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere and an increase in the incidence of diseases in the region, which reduces the quality of life. The prospects for the trend of inclusive growth in the region are associated with the measures taken by the federal regulator and regional authorities to reduce damage to public health, to form a health-preserving environment, including within the framework of the Comprehensive Scientific and Technical Program (CSTP) "Clean Coal - Green Kuzbass".
