"Advances in Raw Material Industries for Sustainable Development Goals" presents the results of joint scientific research conducted in the context of the Russian-German Raw Materials Forum. Today Russia and Germany are exploring various forms of cooperation in the field of mining, geology, mineralogy, mechanical engineering and energy. Russia and Germany are equally interested in expanding cooperation and modernizing the economy in terms of sustainable development. The main theme of this article collection is connected with existing business ventures and ideas from both Russia and Germany. In this book the authors regard complex processes in mining industry from various points of view, including: - modern technologies in prospecting, exploration and development of mineral resources - progressive methods of natural and industrial mineral raw materials processing - energy technologies and digital technologies for sustainable development - cutting-edge technologies and innovations in the oil and gas industry. Working with young researchers, supporting their individual professional development and creating conditions for their mobility and scientific cooperation are essential parts of Russian-German Raw Materials Forum founded in Dresden 13 years ago. This collection represents both willingness of young researchers to be involved in large-scale international projects like Russian-German Raw Material Forum and the results of their long and thorough work in the promising areas of cooperation between Russia and Germany.

The International Raw Materials Observatory will advance international cooperation mechanisms on mineral raw materials, as defined in thematic action plans addressing research and innovation, education and outreach, industry and trade, and recycling, management and substitution of critical raw materials. Considering that actions highly depend on potential future developments (and future developments can be influenced by actions), the scenario method was selected as an appropriate foresight methodology for developing 3 alternative future scenarios for raw materials in 2050. These provide a baseline set of potential future developments in the Action Plans. Within this brochure, the reader will gain insights into the methodology applied and into the main characteristics of each of the three future scenarios.
The Routledge Handbook of the Extractive Industries and Sustainable Development provides a cutting-edge, comprehensive overview of current trends, challenges and opportunities for metal and mineral production and use, in the context of climate change and the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. Minerals and metals are used throughout the world in manufacturing, construction, infrastructure, production of electronics and consumer goods. Alongside this widespread use, extraction and processing of mineral resources take place in almost every nation at varying scales, both in developing countries and major developed nations. The chapters in this interdisciplinary handbook examine the international governance mechanisms regulating social, environmental and economic implications of mineral resource extraction and use. The original contributions, from a range of scholars, examine the relevance of the mining industry to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reviewing important themes such as local communities Indigenous peoples, gender equality and fair trade, showing how mining can influence global sustainable development. The chapters are organised into three sections: Global Trends in Mineral Resources Consumption and Production; Technology, Minerals and Sustainable Development; and Management of Social, Environmental and Economic Issues in the Mining Industry. This handbook will serve as an important resource for students and researchers of geology, geography, earth science, environmental studies, engineering, international development, sustainable development and business management, among others. It will also be of interest to professionals in governmental, international and non-governmental organisations that are working on issues of resource governance, environmental protection and social justice.
The UN 2030 Agenda (UN General Assembly, 2015) established 17 Goals for implementing sustainable development by acknowledging the interdependency of society, environment and economy, and by strengthening peaceful societies. The EU has a well-established development policy in place and in the New European Consensus on Development it settled a shared vision and a framework for action for development cooperation (European Union, 2017a). With this document, the EU aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework. Moreover, a set of indicators to monitor the SDGs at EU level has been published (Eurostat, 2017a). Ubiquitous in modern societies and essential to economic growth and well-being, raw materials contribute to the SDGs in different ways. The production of materials can generate severe environmental and social impacts. However, their use in e.g. high tech applications, transport and energy infrastructures, construction sector, medical devices etc. demonstrates their crucial role for economic development and human wellbeing. The EU strategy on non-energy, non-agricultural raw materials tackles the challenges related to these sectors, promoting a secure and sustainable supply from domestic sources and international markets, and increasing the contribution of secondary materials. In support of this policy, the Joint Research Centre, in cooperation with DG GROW, is developing an EU knowledge base that comprises the Raw Materials Information System and the Raw Materials Scoreboard. The latter is a collection of indicators on several aspects related to the RM sectors, encompassing economic, environmental and social considerations as well as aspects related to governance and the security of supply. This study scrutinizes how raw materials hinder or contribute to the SDGs, based on literature review and experts' opinion. It takes into consideration the whole value chain (extraction, manufacturing, use, end-of-life) of biotic and abiotic materials. In many cases, the twofold role of raw materials emerges. For instance, raw materials production originates greenhouse gas emissions, but their use in low-carbon energy technologies contributes to fight climate change. Materials extraction and manufacturing can also pollute water bodies and create water stress, but some materials are essential for environmental technologies and water treatment techniques. The outcome of the analysis stresses the potential of forestry to contribute to several SDGs, especially in relation to climate and biodiversity. However, it also highlights the importance of sustainable forest management to maintain the ecosystem services' provision. Overall, addressing interlinkages and trade-offs between different SDGs and the various phases of the supply chains appears to be crucial for promoting sustainable development. The study also provides linkages with some current European policies and actions related to the sustainability of raw materials from extraction to consumption. In addition, we assess to what extent the SDGs are reflected in the Raw Materials Scoreboard, which monitors the main challenges of raw materials production in the EU. The Scoreboard appears to be very advanced in the area of circular economy, including various indicators and aspects. However, environmental aspects have only a partial coverage, i.e. impacts on terrestrial and marine ecosystems are not fully addressed. Other areas for potential improvements relate to gender equality and inequalities within and among countries. The efforts of the raw materials industry in promoting sustainable development could also be monitored in the Scoreboard, acknowledging SDG 17 on the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development.
