A review of data challenges and opportunities for large-scale assessments of mining’s social and environmental impacts
Mining impacts extend beyond the mine site, embedded in the local context. • Public disclosures fall short of providing meaningful information for stakeholders. • Alternative data sources are needed to complement corporate reporting. • Fitness-for-purpose principles and hybrid approaches may improve data limitations. • Open-access advanced computing platforms as decision-support tools for stakeholders. The global shift towards decarbonization has…
Compound exposure: Climate change, vulnerability and the energy-extractives nexus in the Pacific
Systematic Review of GIS and Remote Sensing Applications for Assessing the Socioeconomic Impacts of Mining
As the mining industry expands, a comprehensive understanding of its socioeconomic risks and benefits is urgently needed. This paper systematically reviews 71 studies (1996–2021) that utilized spatially integrated approaches to evaluate socioeconomic mining impacts. The number of studies that utilize geographic information systems and remote sensing to study mining impacts increased from 2014 onwards. A framework was used to classify the mining i…
An approach for prioritising environmental, social and governance (ESG) water-related risks for the mining industry: The case of Chile
Mining projects interact with diverse concurrent environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks inherent to the local hosting context. These risks known as "situated risks'' usually have a relevant influence on the dynamics between operations, environment and communities. The appropriate assessment of these risks requires a multi-disciplinary approach. This research aims to propose a novel ESG-W-RISK approach to prioritise water-related ESG ris…
Rethinking resource enclavity in developing countries: Embedding Global Production Networks in gold mining regions
This article explores how the gold mining sector has adapted and evolved in developing countries since the onset of the global pandemic. A major criticism of capital-intensive gold mines has been that they occur as enclaves which fail to catalyze local economic development. Pre-pandemic, the pressure applied by NGOs and donors on gold mining companies to ‘de-enclave’ was steadily building. It has since dissipated, however, because many government…
Energy transition minerals and their intersection with land-connected peoples
Rapidly transitioning the global energy system to renewables is considered necessary to combat climate change. Current estimates suggest that at least 30 energy transition minerals and metals (ETMs) form the material base for the energy transition. The inventory of ETMs indicates a high level of intersectionality with territories less impacted by the historic forces of industrialization. To identify the current global footprint, 5,097 ETM project…
Conceptual framework to assist in the decision-making process when planning for post-mining land-uses
Comparative capacity of global mining regions to transition to a post-mining future
Fast track to failure? Energy transition minerals and the future of consultation and consent
Energy transition mineral and metals (ETM) are being widely discussed for their utility in combating climate change. However, their contribution with respect to social and environmental impact does not feature prominently in contemporary debates. In this paper we present findings showing the extent to which the world's ETM projects will intersect with Indigenous Peoples' and Peasant lands – the lands of people who under existing United Nations-le…
A global vulnerability analysis of displacement caused by resource development projects
The energy‐extractives nexus and the just transition
The concept of a ‘just transition’ to a low‐carbon economy is firmly embedded in mainstream global discourses about mitigating climate change. Drawing on Karl Polanyi's political economy elaborated in The Great Transformation , we interrogate the idea of a just transition and place it within its historical context. We address a major contradiction at the core of global energy transition debates: the rapid shift to low‐carbon energy‐systems will r…
The social and environmental complexities of extracting energy transition metals
Environmental, social and governance pressures should feature in future scenario planning about the transition to a low carbon future. As low-carbon energy technologies advance, markets are driving demand for energy transition metals. Increased extraction rates will augment the stress placed on people and the environment in extractive locations. To quantify this stress, we develop a set of global composite environmental, social and governance ind…
Catastrophic tailings dam failures and disaster risk disclosure
The global mining industry produces billions of tonnes of mine tailings each year. This slurry of waste material is often contained in dams, which are among some of the world’s largest engineered structures. Several recent and catastrophic tailings dam disasters bring the complex interaction between a mine and its local operating context into plain sight. The absence of public, timely, multi-scalar information about the multiple dimensions of thi…
The Role of the Mining Industry in a Circular Economy: A Framework for Resource Management at the Mine Site Level
The circular economy (CE) concept advocates drastically reduced primary resource extraction in favor of secondary material flowing through internal loops. However, it is unreasonable to think that society will not need any resources, for example, metals, from mining activities in the short, medium, or longer term. This article explores the role of the mining industry in transitioning to the CE and shows that mines can make significant progress if…
