The working sections were in line with the theme of the conference. Geologists and developers took an active part in its work. The participants of the conference have noted that due to the growth of the population of our planet, the degree of negative human impact on the biosphere is steadily growing. In addition, the past of the 20th century is characterized by high rates of energy consumption growth, while traditional energy resources are not unlimited. Therefore, today it is necessary to search and develop fundamentally new strategies for the development of natural raw materials and the development of environmental technologies.
