Integrating sustainable development into mining activities remains a major challenge.
Given its significant role in local livelihoods, national economies and the global market, better alignment of the practices and policies of the mining industry with the global Sustainable Development Goals will be a key part of successfully achieving the global development agenda between now and 2030.
The Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development, as the leading global policy forum on mining and sustainable development, has an important role to play in this alignment.
