"The book provides a systematic assessment of how the mining and materials sector contributes to the 17 sustainable development goals set forth by the UN in 2015. The target date of 2030 for reaching these goals is considered as a benchmark but the book looks beyond considering a longer-term vision. Written by a mix of authors from developing and developed countries, the book offers coverage of environmental, economic, and social dimensions of the SDGs. Aimed at those working in minerals, mining, and materials, this work offers readers a practical vision of how these sectors can have a positive impact on meeting these vital global targets"--
Mining, Materials, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): 2030 and Beyond provides a systematic assessment of how the mining and materials sector contributes to the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) set forth by the United Nations in 2015. While the target date of 2030 is considered a benchmark for reaching these goals, the book looks beyond this date and considers a longer-term vision.
