Sustainable Mining and Resource Management

Mining Meets Sustainable Development

Mining is essential to the green energy transition—you need minerals and metals to build solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage. But mining also carries real environmental and social costs. This course teaches you how extraction industries can align with the Sustainable Development Goals, manage natural resources responsibly, and adapt to energy and technological transformations while staying profitable.

You'll examine the roles and responsibilities of mining stakeholders, understand climate mitigation and adaptation in the mining value chain, and see how resource governance actually works—not in theory, but in practice across different regions and political contexts.

Best for: Mining professionals, resource managers, sustainability leaders, and policymakers shaping energy transitions.
