Knowledge-sharing in ASM Communities: Mercury, Technology, and Sustainability in Developing Countries

Spiegel, S. J., & Veiga, M. M. English

While various past development efforts have sought to reduce mercury-related problems, we conclude that sustainable development should seek to intertwine knowledge-sharing on environmental goals with concrete ways of improving economic well-being. We demonstrate how such models of knowledge-sharing can help to catalyze local innovation, technology-sharing and community organization. This paper discusses how this knowledge can be applied by governments to create capacity building policies as well as regulations that support sustained improvement in mining standards.

Socio-economic ASGM Research Methodology

UNITAR 2018 English

This socio-economic ASGM research methodology mainly covers the socio-economic aspects of the ASGM overview. It provides a suggested approach for collecting and analysing data in the ASGM sector. This socio-economic ASGM research methodology therefore supports NAP-executing countries in exploring key social, cultural, and economic aspects of the ASGM sector. This involves collecting mostly qualitative data at the local level, as well as addressing several quantitative indicators at the regional and national level.

Minería y Derechos Humanos: Una mirada desde el sector Artesanal y de Pequeña Escala

ARM 2015 Spanish

En el marco de esa cooperación se realizó el estudio “Minería y Derechos Humanos: Una Mirada desde el Sector Artesanal y de Pequeña Escala”, que examina el potencial para aplicar el enfoque de los derechos humanos en la minería artesanal y de pequeña escala (MAPE), como instrumento para elevar la dignidad, evitar desigualdades y discriminación, pero también para fomentar las responsabilidades y obligaciones que conlleva, en ámbitos legales, sociales, económicos y laborales. Este documento presenta también un análisis del efecto de la formalización en los derechos en la MAPE, dado el elevado grado de informalidad en la minería artesanal, que pone a los mineros en situación de alta vulnerabilidad, lo que hace imprescindible impulsar el proceso de integración a la economía formal y a la adecuación a las normas, conceptos y relaciones que la rigen.

Phasing Out Mercury? Ecological Economics and Indonesia's Small-Scale Gold Mining Sector

Samuel J. Spiegel; Sumali Agrawal; Dino Mikhab; Kartie Vitamerry; Philippe Le Billon; Marcello Veigad; Kulansi Konoliusb; and Bardolf Paul 2017 English

This article uses an ecological economics approach to analyse tensions surrounding efforts to phase out mercury in Indonesia's artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector, among the largest sources of mercury pollution worldwide. It also discusses implications of domestic cinnabar mining for controlling mercury in Indonesia's ASGM sector, highlighting obstacles to implementing the Minamata Convention, a treaty that aims to restrict mercury use.
