Uncertainty in modelling the demand for minerals from the energy sector at a country-level
How Does Small-Scale Mining Stabilize Rural Livelihoods in Sub-Saharan Africa? The Case of Mozambique
This paper examines the linkages between subsistence farming and artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) – lowtech, labor-intensive mineral extraction and processing – in sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on the case of Mozambique. While the body of literature on this subject is burgeoning, it is comprised mostly of conceptual pieces and country case studies that rely heavily on qualitative data. Focusing on Manica Province, long an epicentre of small-…
Artisanal and small-scale mining and the low-carbon transition
The transition to a low-carbon economy will require an unprecedented change to the energy system. The renewable and energy storage technologies that need to be built are fundamentally different from the ones that will be replaced. They require a greater amount and diversity of metals and minerals than the technologies that they are replacing. This higher demand for materials is likely to require a sharp expansion in the mining and production of a…
Assessing the economics and finances of Artisanal and small-scale gold mining in Guyana
Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is a vital source of non-farm rural income across much of the Global South, and a key provider of jobs and livelihoods in South America, Africa and Asia. Despite this importance, however, there is very little research into the economics and finances of these small (and often medium-sized) operations. This paper summarises the result of a survey of ASM gold miners in Guyana in late 2020 that delved into the c…

The politics and performativity of Redd+ reference levels
This article examines the political and performative function of the deforestation ‘reference level’ within Guyana’s Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) agreement with Norway. It argues that the establishment of, and continual negotiations around, the reference level rate illustrate how the Guyana-Norway REDD+ agreement was always more about ensuring the programme’s ‘success’ than materially reducing deforestation…

Evaluating the impact of small-scale mining on the achievement of the sustainable development goals in Guyana
Establishing clinical severity for PROMIS® measures in adult patients with rheumatic diseases
Getting more ‘carbon bang’ for your ‘buck’ in Acre State, Brazil
Gold mining, indigenous land claims and conflict in Guyana's hinterland
Guyana Gold
This article offers explanations for the underwhelming economic performance of Guyana, a country heavily dependent on the revenue generated from gold mining. Here, government intervention has spawned a gold mining sector which today is comprised exclusively of local small and medium-scale operators. But whilst this rather unique model appears to be the ideal blueprint for facilitating local development, the country seems to be experiencing many o…
The effects and side‐effects of the EU emissions trading scheme
As many countries, regions, cities, and states implement emissions trading policies to limit CO 2 emissions, they turn to the European Union's experience with its emissions trading scheme since 2005. As a prominent example of a regional carbon pricing policy, it has attracted significant attention from scholars interested in evaluating the effectiveness and impacts of emissions trading. Among the key difficulties faced by researchers is isolating…
