Global Investor Commission on Mining 2030
The mining sector is critical to society and the low-carbon transition. However, mining can also be a force for conflict impacting people, communities, and the environment. The Commission is a critical intervention in a vital sector and will serve beneficiaries’ interests and the wider society. For any inquiries, please contact [email protected].
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.
