The fact that the mining sector is emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases and contributing to climate change through consuming enormous amounts of energy is not surprising. Yet, few people know that the mining sector is particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Since climate change exacerbates risks that mining companies are already facing, state and private stakeholders increasingly acknowledge the links between environmental change and the mining industry.

What are climate-proof policies? How do the costs of increasing conflicts compare to the costs of implementing social and environmental standards? What steps should mining companies take to be better prepared for global warming?
