IISD Mining and Sustainable Development Initiative (brochure)

This brochure introduces IISD’s vision of the mining sector’s potential to be a substantial contributor to inclusive growth and social development in communities and states, without compromising the environment.

Governments, companies and communities increasingly recognize the need for a broader understanding of mining’s potential contribution to local and national development.

Transforming this awareness into action requires building the capacity, knowledge and tools required for appropriate reform of government and company policies and processes. For more than a decade, IISD has helped governments, companies, mining associations and civil society members to identify, promote and implement policies and actions that lead to sustainable development in the mining sector.
