Integrating water and energy solutions for socio-economic transition after mine closure
Non-technical summary Mining activities have intensive water and energy needs that require reliable infrastructure for ongoing supply. In several jurisdictions, regulations require mining companies to clear all service infrastructure as part of closure planning. This creates significant challenges for remote communities near mine sites that often rely on company-sponsored infrastructure for essential services such as energy and water. Unreliable …
Social and environmental aspects of resource extraction of energy-transition minerals
The global energy transition is accelerating demand for critical minerals such as lithium, nickel, and copper. Although essential for low-carbon technologies, the extractions of these mineral resources create significant socio-environmental costs. The 11 Letters curated in this Focus Issue of Environmental Research Letters bring interdisciplinary perspectives to highlight the social and environmental complexities of energy-transition mineral extr…
Barriers to introducing non-mining land uses onto operational mines as perceived and experienced by experts in Australia
54 mine rehabilitation experts surveyed. • Explored barriers to parts of operational mines transitioning to a post-mining land use. • Clarity of completion criteria, residual risk and apportionment of liability of highest concern to experts. Every mining jurisdiction in Australia expects mined land to be progressively rehabilitated to achieve a safe, stable, non-polluting landform, capable of sustaining a post-mining land use. Resource communitie…
How are Indigenous groups participating in large renewable energy project co-ownership? Mapping global progress
Indigenous co-ownership of renewable energy projects is increasingly proposed as a tangible pathway towards economic reconciliation, enabling Indigenous communities to assert sovereignty over their lands and land use decision-making. This is despite limited empirical understanding of the value of Indigenous co-ownership, how and where it exists, and what its on-the-ground influence may be in advancing Indigenous self-determination and economic re…
Just transition out of coal-fired power
Nearly three-quarters of Australia's electricity generation is coal-dependent with fossil fuel-led electricity contributing to over a third of Australia's CO2 emissions. Climate change imperatives are calling for permanent shifts to these patterns, leading to early closure announcements of several coal-fired power plants across the country. Although the pace and scale of the energy transition are unprecedented, the closure of large-scale industri…
How do past global experiences of coal phase-out inform China’s domestic approach to a just transition
China produces nearly half of the world’s coal and more than half of the global coal-fired electricity. Its CO 2 emissions are higher than the combined volumes of the next three world regions—the US, Europe, and India. China has announced a net-zero commitment by 2060. This timeline creates enormous pressure to maintain energy security while phasing down coal use. Despite the localized nature of China’s coal production with nearly 80% of its ther…

The temporalities of energy justice
In Situ Adaptation to Climatic Change
Extractive resource development necessitates a direct and immediate dependence upon the environment and is particularly sensitive to climate variability and change. This article examines adaptation to climatic changes within the mining industry through a case study of extreme flooding events during 2007–2008 and 2010–2011 in Queensland, Australia. With 47 of the state's 57 coal mines impacted by the 2010–2011 floods, vast infrastructure damage, l…
Planning and Sustainability
Planning and sustainability are extremely challenging concepts in the current development discourse. This paper argues that besides being challenging, they are also closely related in a complementary fashion. To achieve holistic sustainability, efficient planning is inevitable. With this understanding, the article explores ways in which planning and sustainability are intricately linked. The focus is mainly on how planning can enhance the chances…
