In a paper published by the World Bank in 2017 titled ‘The Growing Role of Minerals and Metals for a Low Carbon Future’, two facts are underlined: one, the global push to reduce the carbon imprint has turned the spotlight firmly on cleaner energy technologies which, in turn, will make huge demands on mineral resources; two: this opportunity may lead to irresponsible mining practices unless practiced responsibly and sustainably.
This detailed and insightful infographic discusses the mineral-intensive transition process and how Climate Smart Mining will actively involve all stakeholders to achieve sustainable extraction and processing.
