Abstract
This paper examines theoretical, methodological and analytical studies to improve the environmental monitoring of air pollution and water resources, as well as to facilitate the collection of data for the determination of assessment indicators for future research work and reports on the environment. A literature review has shown the importance of understanding the impact of environmental issues such as air and water pollution on various aspects of human life and regional development. In the paper, it was decided to use methodological generalization and system analysis. The theoretical significance of this study is to generalize and expand classical and modern theories of sustainable development of regions, theoretical developments of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of environmental monitoring, and increasing the competitiveness and sustainability of regions in the context of globalization and Industry 4.0. Additionally, statistical data on strategic planning and reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan 2005-2020 were used. Based on these results, it can be recommended that the neediness implement the priority of improving the welfare of society in regions with minimal environmental impact. To maintain the overall balance, prevent the depletion of natural resources, and reduce the generation of hazardous waste, it is essential to rationalize the production and consumption of energy. The study results can be used by international intergovernmental organizations, local, regional and republican government bodies, universities and colleges.
