Adaptive governance of resources and environment in mining areas: a review
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Economics, Business and Management - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Abstract: Mining is an important activity, while the supply of minerals and energy is essential to the development of global society. However, the cumulative impacts associated with it are paid a great concern by the public. Further, the industry must measure and assess its performance and respond to sustainability challenges, while other mining stakeholders such as local communities, international organizations and other non-governmental actors play an increasingly important role in sustainable mining development. In a large quantity review of literatures on mining governance, the paper finds that almost all the papers aim at achieving a sustainable performance in mining areas to realize sustainable development. For this reason, the paper illustrates the cumulative impacts and the sustainable development in mining areas. The paper concludes that the sustainable development framework, corporate social responsibility, social license to operate and hybridized governance are major approaches to address sustainability issues. Finally, this paper argues that China has to do more efforts associated with sustainable mining operation, too. Keywords: Mining areas; Cumulative impacts; Sustainable development, Corporate social responsibility; Social license to operate; Hybridized governance.
