This brief provides an overview of how climate change will affect the global mining sector. First, the transition to a low-carbon economy requires huge amounts of raw materials that the mining industry is responsible for supplying. Second, the mining sector itself needs to play a role in self-decarbonizing.
Environmental impacts of mining appear to be most well known all over the world – almost beyond the necessity of further elucidation and questioning ([2, 3]; Table 1). The mining industry has recognized its impact on the environment and has identified the control and restriction of such impact as one of its key challenges [4, 47].
