POST MINING ACTIVITIES IN COAL MINING IN AMAGA, ANTIOQUIA - COLOMBIA, CHALLENGES AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

摘要

Colombia is an important coal producer, with 84 million tons sold at the end of 2018. Mining contributed with 1.66% to the country's GDP in 2018, while 1.09% came from coal. However, the prospects for Colombia's mining regions are different as in the mining region of Amaga, located in the department of Antioquia, coal production has been reduced by 93% from 2012 to 2017. Mine closures that were not properly planned, designed and implemented had a negative impact on the environment and social security. The adaptation of the post-mining knowledge of Germany shows options to face the challenges of Amaga. In addition, it seeks to promote and broaden the vision of post-mining with the aim of developing strategies and mechanisms adapted to the different mining areas throughout the national territory and thus to find long-term solutions in favor of the environment and the community.
