The Ministry of Mining in Mongolia has the mission of developing responsible and transparent mining practices through policies that encourage environmentally friendly and socially acceptable operations. The mining sector generated over 2 trillion MNT in tax revenue for the state budget in 2012, accounting for about 41.3% of total revenues. Investment and production in the mining sector has increased substantially between 2008-2012. Coal exploration and exports have also increased over this period. The government aims to improve the regulatory environment for mining and support the development of downstream industries.
A review of Zimbabwe's draft minerals policy by ZELA ZELA_infor
In March 2013, The Ministry of Mines and Minerals produced a draft minerals policy which seeks to provide a framework for a minerals regime for the sustainable management of the country’s mineral resources and to guide interventions by government institutions as well as other stakeholders.
The Zimbabwe Environmental Law Association (ZELA) commissioned a review of the draft Minerals Policy with a view of understanding to what extent it will help Zimbabwe unlock economic development from its vast mineral resources.
The review highlights some of the problems that are stifling the potential of Zimbabwe's mineral resource base to contribute to economic development. Chief among these problems is an archaic and colonial piece of legislation in the form of the Mines and Minerals Act, which is regarded as the weakest link.
The Act which was enacted in 1961 is oriented towards mineral resources exploitation with little or no regard to sustainable development. While mining itself can never be sustainable, it can contribute to sustainable development through the investment of generated revenue in human and physical capital. Other problems include lack of transparency and accountability, lack of access to information and lack of value addition and beneficiation.

The document discusses India's mining and mineral sector, which is the backbone of industrial development in India and contributes 3% to GDP. It focuses on Reliance Industries Limited, one of the top players in the sector. RIL was founded in 1966 and initially operated in textiles but has since diversified into oil, gas, petrochemicals, and retail. It is now a large, multinational conglomerate with operations across India and internationally, and has grown tremendously over the past 25 years while contributing significantly to India's economic growth.
The document summarizes the Africa Mining Vision (AMV), which was adopted in 2009 to promote equitable and sustainable mineral resource exploitation in Africa. It outlines the AMV's goals of optimizing mineral wealth for broad-based development and its action plan clusters. It then provides updates on the work being done within each cluster, including developing country mining visions, strengthening geological data systems, improving governance, and addressing issues like artisanal mining, gender inclusion, and partnerships with external initiatives. The overall aim of the AMV is to ensure minerals contribute maximally to sustainable economic and social development in Africa.
The document outlines Gujarat State's mineral policy for 2003. It aims to increase mineral exploration, exploitation, and value addition through private participation and outsourcing over the next 5 years. Key goals include increasing the area under mining leases and quarry leases from 42,680 hectares to 61,024 hectares, increasing major mineral production from 2.77 to 4.47 crore metric tonnes, and minor mineral production from 3.03 to 4.88 crore metric tonnes. The policy also aims to increase annual mineral revenue from Rs. 174.82 crore to Rs. 500 crore over the 5 year period through measures like rationalizing royalty rates and curbing illegal mining.

The document discusses Ian Lamond, who is the Head of Planning and Environment at Stephens Scown LLP, a law firm located in Cornwall, UK. It provides Lamond's contact information and then discusses several topics related to localism in planning, including what constitutes "local", localism and the National Planning Policy Framework, localism and mineral plans, and localism and the duty to cooperate. It also briefly mentions Richard Trevithick, the inventor of the steam engine, and includes a quote from Trevithick about attempting innovations.
Policy frameworks can play an important role in leveraging mineral infrastructure for broader regional development in sub-Saharan Africa. Regulations are key but must be transparent, predictable, and flexible. They should be implemented where they exist and strengthened or adapted where needed. Alternatives to regulations like incentives and sequencing are also important. Overall, policy frameworks work best when they ensure coherence across countries and sectors through collaborative multi-stakeholder partnerships.
Unit 4 ch 16 s2 mineral exploration & miningwja10255
The document describes the process of mineral exploration and mining. There are several key steps: (1) prospecting to find mineral deposits, (2) exploration to determine if extraction is economically viable, (3) mining to extract the ore, (4) extraction to separate the minerals from waste rock, and (5) smelting and refining to purify the extracted minerals. Mining occurs either through subsurface techniques like room and pillar mining or longwall mining, or surface techniques including open pit mining and quarrying. The document also discusses how minerals are located and tested before mining begins.
Cross-border cooperation in the electricity sector - the Nordic exampleGlobal Utmaning
The document discusses cross-border cooperation in the electricity sector through the Nordic example. It outlines the history of interconnections between Nordic countries dating back to 1963, which grew over time through the establishment of Nordel in 1992 to facilitate cooperation between transmission system operators. Nordel later joined ENTSO-E and helped coordinate the decarbonization of the power sector in the region through increasing renewable energy and electrification while maintaining a reliable grid through 2050. The context of cooperation has become more complex over time with new drivers like emissions pricing and public demand, as well as obstacles around political will, governance capacity, and handling interdependencies across borders.

This document discusses the role of private debt and credit growth in economic stability. It argues that pre-crisis orthodoxy viewed low inflation as sufficient for stability, but private debt growth fueled asset price booms and recessions. Credit growth for real estate and existing assets does not directly stimulate GDP but can inflate prices. To promote stability, policy should constrain private leverage growth and the dominance of real estate lending through higher bank capital requirements and countercyclical policies.
Ulf Dahlsten gave a presentation at the Stockholm School of Economics on March 22nd, 2014 about combating debt addiction and stabilizing the financial system. He argued that more needs to be done as the system has issues like extreme pro-cyclicality, underestimating endogenous risks, excessive money creation, growing private debts, asset inflation, and complexity. He focused on these problems and asked questions about addressing excessive money creation, the danger of private debt buildup, curbing asset inflation without hurting the economy, and what central banks, regulators, and politicians can do to help.

The document defines a green economy as one that is low-carbon, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive according to the UNEP. It also includes a diagram showing the interdependencies between different levels of trust, politics, markets, resources, and social relations that are necessary for a sustainable green economy. Weaknesses in any of these areas can undermine the transition to a green economy.
Research questions for a green, inclusive economyGlobal Utmaning
This document summarizes a presentation on research questions for a green, inclusive economy. The presentation covered three main topics:
1. Metrics - It discussed developing alternative metrics to GDP like national wealth accounts and a prosperity metric based on solving human problems.
2. Vision - It addressed the need for systems thinking and considering renewable vs. exhaustible natural resources.
3. Transition - Key research questions were presented around the politics and innovation required for an economic transition, including governance mechanisms, necessary institutions, and business models within planetary boundaries.
The presentation concluded by noting the career prospects for economists to work on these important transition questions and called for mutual understanding between disciplines.
A critical review and considerations: Green economy, what is it?Global Utmaning
This document provides a summary and critique of a proposal to build models for a sustainable Germany by 2040. It notes that the proposal makes some good points but its economic understanding is still simplistic and it is insufficient in design and scope. The summary recommends using systems analysis throughout, integrated assessment modeling to analyze past data and scenarios, and involving experienced systems analysts. It concludes that the proposal has some blind spots and needs to better connect the whole system, address issues like population and trade, and engage policy/government to enable real paradigm shifts.
