Environmentalization of the coal mining industry in the Russian Federation: legal regulation and media coverage

Abstract

This paper examines the legal framework for greening the coal mining industry in the Russian Federation and its coverage in the media. There is currently a need to formalize environmental requirements and implement innovative green technologies in coal mining. This will help maintain demand for coal, preserve Russian coal mining companies' global market position, and increase the competitiveness of coal mined in Russia. Russian lawmakers, wisely addressing these issues, have developed a legal framework for greening the coal mining industry in the Russian Federation.
