The document discusses the need for an environmental impairment insurance policy or pollution legal liability insurance in the Philippines. It outlines 10 types of environmental insurance coverage that could be required for industries to protect against pollution-related damages and cleanup costs. It also proposes 3 actions to effectively implement an environmental insurance system: 1) Require businesses to show proof of pollution cleanup funds or environmental insurance, 2) Mandate annual loss prevention checks by insurers, and 3) Form a "Green Police Unit" to monitor compliance and conduct environmental education initiatives. The system aims to ensure sustainable development and environmental protection for current and future generations in the Philippines.

commercial exploration started in 1958. Nigeria is Africa's biggest producer of crude, with production capacity
estimated at 2 million barrels per day (bbl. /d) in 2018. Judging from the large reserves and with a right
atmosphere, Nigeria could produce up to 3 million bbl. /d per day. Nigeria is estimated to have about 37.2
billion barrels of proven oil reserves, largely concentrated in the Niger Delta Region and over 95 per cent export
and 75 per cent earnings Nigeria is dependent on the Oil and Gas sector.
Cases of pipeline leakages have become rampant in Niger Delta; this has influenced negatively the
social, economic, and ecological life in the region. Oil spills occurrences stood at 6,744 spills with 2,369,470
barrels between 1976-2000, of this number, an estimated 1,820,410.5 barrels 77% was deposited into the
environment, though a cumulative figure of 549,060 barrels of oil, signifying 23.17 per cent of the whole was

The document discusses various acts, regulations, standards, and policies related to occupational safety and health in Malaysia. It covers the Factories and Machineries Act 1967, Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994, environmental acts, and related regulations. It also discusses penalties and compounding processes, international standards like OSHA, and compensation for workplace injuries.
This document is an Administrative Order from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the Philippines mandating that all mining contractors secure ISO 14001 certification for environmental management systems. It requires contractors with existing mineral agreements and financial/technical assistance agreements engaged in metallic mining to obtain certification within one year. Contractors filing new metallic mining projects must be certified within one year of project approval. Non-metallic mining contractors have one year to voluntarily comply but certification will become mandatory on a future deadline. Failure to comply or maintain certification will result in suspension of environmental compliance certificates and permits until certification is achieved. The order also establishes periodic reviews of contractor operations to ensure environmental compliance.
EO 130 which was signed on 14 April 2021 lifted a 9-year ban on new mining agreements. The economic managers say that Philippine mineral resources have been vastly untapped and could bring significant benefits to the economy. The DENR expects to generate some Php21 billion from two phases of 100 new mining projects.
The document discusses various constitutional provisions relating to environmental law in India. It covers:
1) Fundamental rights like right to life, personal liberty, equality and free speech have been interpreted by courts to include right to clean environment.
2) Directive principles of state policy require the state to protect and improve environment.
3) 42nd amendment added protection of environment as a fundamental duty of citizens.
4) Environmental laws are made using entries from the union, state and concurrent lists to regulate issues like forests, fisheries, rivers etc.
5) Important cases where courts expanded right to life and directed relocation of polluting industries in Taj Trapezium zone and closure of tanneries.

The document outlines the evolution of environmental clearance requirements for minor mineral mining in India over time, beginning in 2010. Key events include the Supreme Court ordering in 2012 that all minor mineral leases below 5 hectares obtain environmental clearance. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change then issued memorandums in 2012 and 2013 to comply with this order and provide guidelines for obtaining clearance, including for specific minerals like brick earth. This established environmental clearance as mandatory for all minor mineral mining leases across India.

This document summarizes a three-part article about mining in the Philippines. It discusses the conflict between the Church and government over the legal and moral issues surrounding mining. It describes how the state is often "captive" to mining companies, failing to protect the environment or benefit local communities. It highlights the 2005 tailings spill by Lafayette Philippines Inc. on Rapu-Rapu Island, where the DENR found Lafayette guilty of violations but still allowed them to resume operations. It argues mining must be governed by environmental ethics rather than just laws, and companies should be evaluated on their ethical conduct before other factors.
It is interesting to note that natural resources had been stored virtually untouched in the Earth for millions of years. But since the start of the industrial revolution vast amounts of these resources had been exploited within a period of just a couple of hundreds of years at unimaginable rates, with all the waste from this exploitation going straight in the environment (air, water, land) and seriously damaging its natural resources by various modern practices.

Open Pit Mining Ban - Should the Philippines Jump into the Bandwagon?Fernando Penarroyo
The government should be circumspect in imposing such a ban because it may open itself to arbitration and litigation exposing itself to claims for damages by affected mineral agreement holders. Imposing a ban will further aggravate uncertainties concerning the administration of environmental regulations, public policy and the legal system. By not imposing a ban, the government can maintain an investment atmosphere conducive to risk capital and avoid the influx of illegal miners. There are other forms of legislation that will achieve the the purpose of environment protection and preventing negative impacts on the health of surrounding communities. Also, the government should strengthen the institutions involved in monitoring and supervising mining operations so that they will have the scientific and legal basis to close certain mining operations because of environmental degradation safety issues.
Achieving Effective Offshore Safety Regulations in NigeriaDonald Ibebuike
This document discusses achieving effective offshore safety regulation in Nigeria. It outlines Nigeria's existing offshore health and safety regulatory framework and regulators, which include outdated regulations from 1963 that do not address modern offshore operations. It notes that combining economic regulation of the oil industry with enforcement of health and safety standards can lead to conflicts of interest. The document advocates establishing an independent regulatory body for offshore health and safety in Nigeria, in line with international best practices. It also describes two approaches to health and safety regulation: command-and-control and goal-setting approaches.
The Philippines has rich mineral resources, ranking 5th globally, with 30% of its land area containing metallic deposits. However, mining contributes minimally to GDP and employment. Most mining is large-scale and export-oriented, dominated by transnational corporations, and causes widespread ecological destruction and human rights violations. Communities face issues like land grabbing, increased poverty, and health impacts. People's organizations are engaged in monitoring, education, research, and protests to call for a mining moratorium, repeal of the 1995 Mining Act, and passage of a People's Mining Bill to better protect the environment and people's rights.
This presidential decree establishes an environmental impact statement system for proposed projects and undertakings in the Philippines to balance socio-economic development and environmental protection. It creates the National Environmental Protection Council to oversee the system and process environmental impact statements. The decree declares certain areas and projects as environmentally critical, requiring an environmental compliance certificate from the President. It also establishes penalties for violations of the decree's provisions.

International organizations respond to statements made by the Chamber of Mines and Chamber of Commerce and Industry regarding a leaked draft executive order on mining reforms in the Philippines. The organizations argue that the mining industry's claims that the reforms will negatively impact investments and projects are unfounded. They believe the reforms are needed to ensure responsible mining and adequate returns to the Filipino people. The response criticizes the mining industry's opposition to proposals that would increase taxes and conduct total economic valuations of mining projects.
Alernative Policy Solutions for the Mining Issue in the PhilippinesLawrence Lerias
The document summarizes policy alternatives for addressing mining issues in the Philippines. It analyzes the situation, stakeholders, and 3 potential policy solutions: a total ban on mining, enacting a new mining law, or maintaining the status quo.

The document discusses the nature and purpose of mining contracts between governments and mining companies. It covers several key points:
- Mining contracts address issues like government revenue, social/economic impacts, and security of tenure. The most important is the Mine Development Agreement.
- Contracts become important where governments have weak institutions, corruption, and instability. Experts negotiate contracts to develop minerals responsibly.
- Contracts should be publicly accessible to build consensus on revenue use. They are guided by laws and policies on the environment, business, taxation, land, and water resources.
- Topics negotiated include equity participation, taxation, infrastructure, community development, dispute resolution, and termination. The goal is transparent and

The document is a response letter from the All India Union of Forest Working People (AIUFWP) regarding the draft EIA Notification 2020. The key points made in the letter are:
1) The AIUFWP demands a complete withdrawal of the draft EIA Notification 2020 as it weakens environmental protections and public participation in decision making.
2) The draft was released during a national lockdown without proper accessibility or consideration of forest communities who will be most impacted.
3) Weakening environmental regulations could exacerbate future pandemics by further damaging nature.
4) The draft favors industries and projects over environmental protection by reducing scrutiny and exempting many from public hearings and consent requirements.
The document is a letter responding to India's draft EIA Notification 2020. It summarizes the following key points:
1. The All India Union of Forest Working People rejects the draft EIA Notification 2020 in its entirety and demands its complete withdrawal.
2. The draft was released during a national lockdown without proper consultation of key stakeholders such as forest communities who will be most impacted.
3. Weakening environmental protections in the draft goes against preventing future pandemics by protecting nature and could lead to increased pollution and ecological destruction.
4. Changes in the draft reduce public consultation and consent requirements for projects, weakening environmental regulation and democracy.

ATM Policy Paper on Mining in the PhilippinesFarah Sevilla
The document discusses the performance of the Philippine mining industry and issues with the government's policy of promoting large-scale mining. It finds that mining has contributed little to the economy and employment compared to other industries like agriculture and tourism. There are also many social and environmental problems associated with large-scale mining projects, including threats to indigenous peoples and biodiversity. The document recommends that the government drop policies to revitalize the mining industry and instead implement a more rational mineral policy that protects local communities and the environment.

Environment Secretary Ramon Paje
maintained that government would
push for responsible mining, increased government share in
mining revenues, and the reign of national laws over local
laws.
4. Mining industry leaders are hoping that the
government’s mining policy will come out “soon”
to resolve many pending issues, according to
the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines.
“There are many outstanding issues and we
hope there will be positive movements when it
does come out,” Artemio Disini, the chamber’s
chairman, said in a phone interview.
They particularly want “movements” regarding
the current moratorium on the processing of
applications for new mining permits,
environmental compliance certificates, and tree-
cutting permits for clearing areas to be explored

seemed reluctant to comment on the pending
policy statement and directives of President
Benigno Aquino, noting various drafts and
several announced “deadlines.” “Let’s just wait
for the EO (executive order),” Cris G. Acosta,
president of Filminera Resources Corp., said in a
text message.
Earlier, Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB)
Director Leo Jasareno said he expected the core
content of the policy to be not much different
from issues raised and addressed in consultation
talks.

mining would be further regulated throughout the
country under the new EO, which, he added, was

Mining and oil shares rose 1.64 percent in the Philippine
stock market on Wednesday following Mr. Aquino’s
statements.
The managing director of First Grade Holdings, Astro del
Castillo, said the issuance of the new rules would trigger
a significant spike in investments from new and old

especially on the revenues received by the government,

royalties, etc, is also being fleshed out," he told
reporters after he attended the ARMM Convention on
Local Governance. He reiterated his previous concern
about the economic, legal and environmental issues that
hound the industry. He said the part on revenue sharing
will determine if legislation is needed to ensure a better
share for the government.
"Presently, it's about 2% (of income taxes paid), if my

He said small scale miners will be subjected to more
