Abstract

Comprehensive knowledge on the issues contributing to mining conflicts is crucial in balancing between the exploitation of mineral deposits and local claims. We explore recent mining conflicts in the European Union using information derived from the Global Atlas of Environmental Justice to improve the understanding of the  potential impacts of the intensification of mining activities by the new minerals policies. The variety of causes of conflict is wide and ranges from environmental impacts to socio-economic and health concerns of the populations residing in the vicinity of the mines. While mining conflicts have arisen during all the phases of the life cycle of a mine, new mining projects have been well presented amongst the conflicts. Policy makers should increasingly pay attention to the multiple impacts that mining has had on the environment and socially, in order to be able to put the plans for increasing minerals extraction in Europe into practice.

欧盟的矿业冲突:环境和政治观点
全面了解导致采矿冲突的问题对于平衡矿藏的开采和当地的要求是至关重要的。我们利用来自全球环境正义地图集的信息探讨了欧盟最近的采矿冲突,以提高对新矿产政策加剧采矿活动的潜在影响的理解。冲突的原因多种多样,从环境影响到居住在地雷附近的居民的社会经济和健康问题。虽然采矿冲突在矿山生命周期的各个阶段都有发生,但新的采矿项目在冲突中得到了很好的体现。决策者应日益注意采矿对环境和社会的多重影响,以便能够将增加欧洲矿物开采的计划付诸实施。
