| Summary: | Abstract This paper develops an approach established on the concept of Best Available Techniques (BAT), which is used to promote industrial resource efficiency while reducing negative environmental impact. Authors focus their attention on the Arctic Region of the Russian Federation. They analyse the current situation on the BAT implementation in the Arctic and consider requirements of relevant legislative acts and standards, sectoral structure of the Arctic industries, and specific environmental issues of the region. Authors consider challenges and opportunities for enhancing the overall understanding of the BAT concept via capacity building of industrialists, civil servants, researchers, university teachers and students. Additionally, the paper describes an Arctic “green” case study analysing results achieved by a Russian mining industry by the means of BAT implementation. Authors suggest using “green” case study-oriented training programmes to provide for the multidisciplinary approach and to make university courses and professional qualification courses more interactive and effective. |
