Miners commit to 'nature positivity' after Norway greenlights deep sea mining
This is the latest sustainability commitment made by mining leaders in an effort to ensure the increased mineral demand fuelling the net zero transition doesn’t cause more environmental damage.
One third of the mining industry has committed to become “nature positive” by 2030, as Norway approves deep sea mining exploration in its waters and a new report sheds light on the environmental impact of mining nickel.
This week in Davos, the 24 members of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), which together represent a third of the mining sector, committed to “take urgent action to support a nature-positive future by 2030”.
