Mining and society in a changing environment: Pathways to sustainability

不断变化的环境中的采矿和社会：实现可持续发展的途径。该研究金旨在解决一个紧迫的、基本上未经研究的全球挑战：如何管理采矿活动，使其增强可持续性、正义和发展。它将利用政治生态学、可持续性科学、土著地理学和地理信息科学，对拉丁美洲、澳大拉西亚和东南亚的采矿活动进行系统的比较分析。对政府、公司和民间社会努力调整采矿项目和政策的这种深入、理论上的创新研究，应该使澳大利亚成为公认的专业知识中心，并有可能使采矿业更具社会和环境可持续性。

Mining and society in a changing environment: pathways to sustainability. This Fellowship seeks to address an urgent, largely unstudied global challenge: how to govern mining activities so they enhance sustainability, justice and development. It will conduct a systematic comparative analysis of mining activities across Latin America, Australasia and South-East Asia, drawing on political ecology, sustainability science, Indigenous geography and geographic information science. Such an in-depth, theoretically innovative study of government, company and civil society efforts to adapt mining projects and policy should make Australia a recognised centre of expertise and is likely to make the mining industry more socially and environmentally sustainable.
