Abstract

This chapter draws attention to all topics related to environment and sustainable development in the mining world. In this sense, financial aspects (e.g., the Equator Principles) are essential to meet the sustainable development objectives. The description starts with some comments about the final stage of the mining cycle: closure and reclamation and the concept of an Environmental Management System. The «social license to operate,» which is the acceptance of a mining operation by stakeholder communities, is featured below. The potential environmental and social impacts and their management are then discussed. Environmental and social impact assessments are also emphasized because the integration of environment into development scheduling is the essential tool in achieving sustainable development. Finally, eight reclamation case studies are developed at the end of the chap ter.
