change, mining is essential. The UN recognises that ending poverty and while tackling climate change. sources of materials: things we grow and things we mine. While the circular resource reuse, it has its limitations and is not a panacea. To rapidly facilitate the equitable sustainable development required to alleviate poverty and mitigate climate change, resources will have to come out of the ground. The question is, how? Will we continue to legacies, scars on the landscape and polluted ecosystems or are we now able to restore sustainable ecosystems uses? The answer is yes: while mining terms, this need not be the case in the future. destructive to the landscapes in which it is practised. It is an essential human endeavour but can be the most damaging anthropogenic activity on land, essentially comparable to glacial scouring or meteor strikes.
