Mining and Environment

©Projekt-Consult The mining sector, pivotal to global economic growth, faces significant environmental and climate challenges. These challenges include deforestation, water pollution, and impacts on local communities, which result from extraction processes. Furthermore, the industry contributes to carbon emissions and climate change through the intensive use of fossil fuels in mining operations. Addressing these issues, the sector is increasingly exploring sustainable practices such as improved waste management, mine closure, and the implementation of renewable energy sources. There is also a growing emphasis on developing technologies, monitoring systems and strategies for reducing the environmental footprint of mining activities, aiming to align more closely with global sustainability targets and environmental regulations. The emphasis on addressing environmental and climate challenges in mining highlights the critical need for responsible sourcing and sustainable practices. As these issues present challenges for the industry, transforming mining practices is an imperative step towards a more sustainable and responsible industry.

As early as the 1980s, Projekt-Consult began developing and introducing locally adapted technologies to improve working conditions and reduce environmental damage. Today, our services have expanded to encompass technical solutions, environmental monitoring, capacity building and strategic advice on the environmental and social dimensions of resource extraction.
