ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL PARADIGM OF THE MINERAL AND RAW RESOURCES COMPLEX UNDER A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF NATURE AND SOCIETY
The rapid development of the ecological crisis generated by the absolute antagonism between the techno- and biosphere against the background of the uncontested need to preserve the natural biota of the Earth as a guarantee of the survival of future generations radically changes public consciousness in the direction of greening thinking in all spheres of human activity. In the field of integrated development of the subsoil, the aggravation of environmental problems is associated not only with the obvious discrepancy between the unlimited growth of needs and limited resources of the lithosphere, but also with deep internal contradictions in the existing system of environmental management of the technogenic impact of mining enterprises on environmental ecosystems. In addition, in the modern system of interaction between Man and Nature, there are completely no motivations and reasonable incentives that compel the search for environmental technological solutions and the rejection of the formation of geoecology on the residual principle. The authors of the article published below propose ways to solve these problems based on the greening of the technocratic paradigm of the prospective development of the mineral resource complex and the application of a non-monetary criterion for assessing the environmental consequences of man-made changes in the subsurface, taking into account the functional structure of the ecosystems disturbed in this case.
