Mining is fundamental in our lives -- we wear, travel in and build, cook and communicate with its products daily -- and it is also one of the most environmentally damaging industries. This uniquely thorough and innovative study examines how such a huge and multi-faceted industry can be made sustainable, minimizing its harmful impacts and maximizing its social and economic contribution. Based on a fully independent study commissioned by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the IIED, and with extensive consultation with all the stakeholders -- companies, governments, communities and NGOs -- this book analyzes the different needs and risks of all those affected and the issues of supply and demand for minerals throughout the world. Included is a free CD-Rom with extensive background material. This is a must-read for all involved -- the industry and its advisors, governments and regulators, civil society and communities -- and offers a model that other industries can follow.
