Collaboration details

Responsible mining can be a positive contributor to development in many countries. However, mining when it goes wrong can also be a force for conflict impacting people, communities and the environment. A key question is if the significant growth in demand for transition minerals will leave a positive legacy in the countries from where it is extracted.
