GICM 2030: A Typology of Conflict around Mineral Resources

Description

A Typology of Conflict Around Mineral Resources provides investors with a structured framework for understanding how mining-related conflicts arise, escalate, and interact with social, political, and economic dynamics in mineral-rich regions. Drawing on case studies and analysis, the report identifies common conflict drivers linked to mineral extraction, such as competition over land and resources, weak governance, community grievances, and environmental harm, and shows how these can affect both local populations and investment outcomes. The resource is designed to help institutional investors anticipate where risks may emerge, understand the mechanisms through which conflict impacts companies and communities, and integrate conflict-sensitivity into risk assessment and engagement strategies in the mining sector.
