采矿业的有害影响

采矿业的有害影响仍然是全社会需要认识和解决的一个挑战。可持续发展的相关报告往往侧重于负责任的公司如何做出积极贡献和管理环境、社会和治理(ESG)风险。“ESG风险”一词已然成为采矿业潜在有害影响的委婉说辞。在能源转型的背景下,业界人士频频提及”绿色”采矿,并将采矿业视为一个”对未来有利的”行业。然而,采矿业的有害影响仍然存在,明示这些风险的实质是很有必要的:如果不能有效预防风险,将对生产国的民众、环境和经济产生有害影响。
基于公共领域的信息(参见文件库),《采矿业的有害影响:对人类、环境和经济的危害》报告表明,有害影响并非不可避免,以及它们发生在全球各个地方,而不仅仅是在监管有限的司法管辖区。报告呼吁在整个行业内将预防有害影响的工作常态化。
观看采矿业有害影响的网络研讨会回放(英文版): 发言嘉宾来自负责任采矿基金会(RMF)、国际采矿和金属理事会 (ICMM)、全球工业联盟(IndustriALL Global Union)、加拿大矿业观察(MiningWatch Canada)、国际行为准则协会(ICoCA)和韦丹塔资源(Vedanta Resources)等机构和公司。
研究报告中发现的主要影响
如何阅读这个图表 : “词云”中的术语仅包括研究中发现的影响,因此仅限于作为具体事件报告的案例。其他影响,例如温室气体排放或酸性矿井排放累积造成的污染不包括在内,因为c此类影响极少作为特定时间范围内的独立事件进行报告。
研究范围
本报告展示了负责任矿业基金会(RMF)近期对38家全球大型矿业公司(即《RMI 2020报告》中涵盖的公司)的研究,即有害经济、环境、社会和治理(EESG)影响的研究结果。研究的样本公司共占全球矿业生产力的约28%,共涉及18个矿业公司总部所在国、55个生产国和全球约1000个矿区。
文件库
这个可搜索的文件库约有260份有害影响事件的报告,这些报告均是在研究期间发现及确定的。其中许多报告涉及多个事件。可以在下方的搜索栏中输入关键字搜索标题、公司和主题中的特定文本。每份报告都总结了数据,并列出了可下载的原始信息来源(450多条来自公共领域的信息)。
