Scholars from Columbia Law School’s Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment present seven major trends that will transform the mining and metals industry. Mining firms will sink or swim depending on how well they prepare for these changes, say the authors, so industry leaders and strategists shouldn’t miss this forward-looking article.

Take-Aways

In the coming years, the global transition to low-emissions energy will boost demand for minerals. The mining and minerals sector will need to reduce its emissions.
Mining firms will deplete minerals in “low-risk areas,” forcing them to innovate their extraction and processing – or to explore regions that have presented economic barriers to extraction.
Companies will seek innovative, risk-mitigating options to finance new mining ventures while also embracing new business models that generate benefits for communities affected by mining operations.
