Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Disruptive Discussion

Nature positive mining – an oxymoron?

  • How can an industry that 'digs holes in the ground' be nature positive?
  • Is a positive impact on nature possible with the huge growth in mining expected to supply critical minerals?
  • Should mining not take place in some areas of very high value for nature – and if not, who gets to decide where?
  • What specifically for mining does a nature positive future look like, and what foundational steps does the industry need to take?
