Sustainable development goals and the mining sector

摘要

Late last year, an industry agenda and mapping atlas (the "Atlas") was released mapping the mining sector towards implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The SDG were developed to represent the post-2015 global development agenda and provides the globally accepted and practical definition of sustainable development worldwide. The SDG were formally agreed upon by all 193 United Nations member states and involved the largest public consultation in history.
