    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Författare :Bianca Terrero Vega; [2023]
    Nyckelord :mine closure; inclusive development; mineral governance; community engagement; energy transition metals; just transitions.; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Mining operations have significant environmental and social impacts, including ecosystem fragmentation, biodiversity loss, pollution, and social issues such as low wages and unsafe working conditions. Despite these negative effects, mining plays a crucial role in the transition to low-carbon technologies and the demand for energy transition minerals is expected to surge. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Transition Towards Net-Zero Emissions: Implications for Banks and Their IT Strategies

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)
