The environmental impact in a regional aspect differ depending mostly on the specifics of the regions and related regional differences, as well as the dynamics of development of the different economic sectors. In this regard, the probability of occurrence of the ecological risk in some regions is relatively higher than its occurrence in others. In this paper environmental risk is associated with negative impact on natural resources as soil, water, air, etc. The aim of the article is to be prepared a comparative analysis of the ecological risk by planning regions and on this basis to be drawn general conclusions about the place of each region in terms of impact on natural resources and to determine those regions in which the probability of occurrence of risk in ecological aspect is relatively higher. The paper provides a literature review of the concept of ecological risk according to regional differences, data analyses of indicators such as carbon dioxide emissions, discharged wastewater, disturbed territories and generated waste by planning regions. Based on the ranking of the regions in terms of the probability of ecological risk occurrence are proposed recommendations for the prevention and/or reduction of negative impact on the environment and natural resources in a regional aspect.
