How are the different SDGs impacted by mining?
The chart below outlines the relevance of mining to individual SDGs. The goals listed on the right of the chart (as you move along the x-axis) are directly impacted by mining, whilst the goals to the left are less directly impacted. Also, the goals at the top of the chart (above the x-axis line) are goals on which mining has a positive effect (e.g. SDG 1 - there is less poverty as mining brings jobs to communities). In comparison, mining has a negative impact on the goals below the x-axis (e.g. SDG 13 - mining has a negative impact on the climate).
