Current State and Prospects of Environmental Problems Legal Regulation in Coal Industry (on Example of Kemerovo Mining Region)

Abstract

The legal aspect of subsoil use in our country is one of the most controversial today. It requires its improvement to create the conditions for the transition to a sustainable economic development in our country. In addition, a comparative analysis of the legal documents of the Russian Federation in this area shows that there are obvious flaws in this issue for legislative purposes. The article assesses the state of legal interfacing in the field of mining (processing), the use of coal and coal products, and discusses the problems arising in this industry. Perspectives were identified and the need to develop special legislation in the coal sector, consistent with the norms of environmental, civil, labor and other branches of legislation was shown.
