Land - the essential ingredient for mining, yet also the most contested
- Mining is intrinsically land-connected, and that can put it at odds with indigenous and land-connected peoples. How can these tensions best be managed?
- Land is also the home to animals and plants which are under threat in a nature and climate-stressed world. How can mining therefore contribute to a nature positive future?
- Land does not end when mining does, yet mining’s track record with closure is not the best. What should be the approach to responsible closure and post-mine transitions?
