The Clean Arctic project, aimed at cleaning the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation from waste accumulated since Soviet times, is planned to be extended to Svalbard, Chairman of the Board of the Clean Arctic autonomous non - profit organization Ruslan Gubaidullin told TASS.
The head of the Ministry of Regional Development Alexey Chekunkov previously reported that coal is not the future of Svalbard, the archipelago is interesting to tourists, and it is necessary to invest in this direction.
