Minerals play a vital role in society,
both in everyday life and in technologies required for a
greener economic future. While circular economic approaches
are developing fast, continued rising demand and the
limitations of recycling mean mining for new raw materials
is set to remain an important part of mineral production for
the foreseeable future. As an industry, mining plays an
important role in more than 80 countries worldwide and, when
managed well, contributes to many of the global development
goals. However, when managed poorly, the sector can lead to
various negative social, environmental, and economic impacts
potentially occurring across the mining life cycle. Change
in the mining sector tends to be slow, with activity largely
driven by long-term commodity price cycles and projects
being conducted at increasingly larger scales. But when
projects do occur, they can play a key role in the future
development of an area. This report focuses on large-scale
mining (LSM), with the stated outcome being the
identification of good and bad practices and or enabling
conditions related to promoting forest-smart LSM based on a
series of case studies. |
