The environmental impact of mining is the influence that mining activities have on the natural conditions and world in which humans and all biota live. The impact may involve diverse forms of environmental change or damage, from short- to long-term effects and from highly spatially restricted to long-distance consequences. Just as any …

Ghana's natural resources serve as the primary source of domestic revenue for the country (Ghana Chamber of Mines 2018, 10). Gold, principal among all the resources, generates the highest revenue for the country's economy. Gold contributed over 95 per cent of Ghana's mineral revenue in 2015 (Ghana Chamber of Mines 2016). The mining

The resource curse is often expressed as the concern that exploitation of natural resources in countries with weak governance and fragile institutions often benefits a small number of powerful people who siphon the proceeds for ... This section begins by considering the regimes under which mineral and other rights are granted and …

Our findings reveal that increased mineral resource extraction has a detrimental effect on the region's green growth index in both the short and long term due to adverse environmental consequences. Conversely, a 1% increase in hydropower production leads to a 0.10% and 0.19% improvement in the green growth index in the …

We can list the following as the main consequences, but there are many more. Destruction of natural habitats, both terrestrial, marine and other aquatic. Destruction of ecosystems of all kinds. Extinction of animal and plant species. Disruption of trophic networks and relationships .

Large scale deforestation has many far-reaching consequences: (a) Habitat destruction of wild animals (tree-using animals are deprived of food and shelter.) (b) Increased soil erosion due to reduction of vegetation cover. (c) Reduction in the oxygen liberated by plants through photosynthesis.

The empirical estimations confirmed that the gross domestic product is an adverse effect in the short term and is the driving factor of green investment in mineral resources in the long term. In addition, a 1% increase in the development of capital markets will increase the number of green investors in mineral resources by 0.23% and …

Just as any kind of human activity, mining has an inherent and partly unavoidable impact on the environment. From the first steps of exploration via exploitation and (ore) processing to the final stages of decommissioning and rehabilitation, environmental hazards and risks may be encountered and need to be addressed.

Large scale deforestation has many far-reaching consequences: (a) Habitat destruction of wild animals (tree-using animals are deprived of food and shelter.) (b) Increased soil erosion due to reduction of vegetation cover. (c) Reduction in …

Some of the consequences of overexploitation of aquifers are: Less availability of water resources (depletion of the most accessible fresh water sources). Quality effects due to contamination of aquifers and other water bodies. Loss of storage capacity of aquifers due to the redistribution of materials and pores that characterize …

Additionally, Xie et al. (2022) explores the dynamics of mineral economics, emphasizing the necessity of efficient resource deployment to ensure prolonged sustainability and mitigate adverse environmental effects. Furthermore, exploring the social and economic dimensions of sustainability in mineral resource utilization is crucial.

Although commercial deep seabed mining could provide the international community with new sources of metals and minerals, it can potentially cause adverse effects on the marine environment and biodiversity of the Area.
