For decades, climate policy has been framed as a technical swap: fossil fuels out, minerals in. But if extraction keeps expanding overall, the model has not changed — only its branding has.

Anglo American’s accountability deficit: broken promises and a legacy of abandonment - London Mining Network Join us as we host the UK launch of two key reports, focused on Anglo American’s abandoned promises in South Africa and Peru.

On 29 April, Anglo American’s shareholders will meet to celebrate bumper dividends. But what they should really be discussing is their legacy of broken promises to mining-affected communities.

At this event, we'll be exposing Anglo's accountability deficit:

Defending our rights: A call to action against Glencore - London Mining Network We stand in solidarity with Resistencia Activa Ya! in calling for action to hold Glencore to account for its harms around the world.

Glencore is notorious for its environmental destruction & human rights violations.

UK Critical Minerals Strategy will fuel global injustices, say communities - London Mining Network London Mining Network - Holding the Mining Industry to Account

As the UK's agreement with the US shows, "demand" for "critical minerals" is largely about shoring up supplies for the arms, technology & automotive industries. We work in solidarity with mining affected communities demanding alternatives to this extractivism: londonminingnetwork.org/2025/11/uk-c...

"...Nickel is located in one of the last tropical forests that exists, home to endemic biodiversity, and among the richest biodiversity coastal areas in the world. Instead of expanding nickel production the world needs to reduce the need for mining..."

How nature is being sacrificed for mining across the world – a data visualisation Analysis has found more than 3,000 mining operations within the most naturally precious areas of the planet – a much bigger footprint than previously thought

"Once a mine has opened, habitat is often lost for ever." An incredible visual piece on nickel mining in Indonesia shows how the scale & damage of mining is vastly underestimated:

Ten years on from the catastrophic yet preventable failure of the Fundāo tailings dam in Brazil - London Mining Network London Mining Network - Holding the Mining Industry to Account

Examining tailings dams & solidarity with communities affected by these disasters is a key focus of our work. Shortly before BHP was found legally responsible for the collapse of the Fundāo tailings dam in Brazil we shared a blog exploring its lasting impact:
londonminingnetwork.org/2025/11/ten-...

Mining’s toxic timebomb: dams full of poisonous waste are dotted around the world. What happens when they burst? While tailings dams are meant to last for ever, extreme weather events are making many unstable – with devastating consequences for nature and humans

Good to see this from @pgreenfielduk.bsky.social on the risks posed by tailings dams. Containing vast amounts of toxic mining waste, at least 108 tailings dams are located in key biodiversity areas. When they collapse the consequences have been catastrophic.

States are clamouring for copper - what does this mean for communities on the frontlines of copper mines? - London Mining Network Peruvian land defenders speak out against copper mining expansions, as their communities face illness, contamination and water scarcity.

As the UK names copper a "growth mineral", expanding copper mining is causing major environmental & social harms to communities living near mine operations, from contamination and crop failures to cancer.

Peruvian community members share their experience:

Call from Red Muqui to go beyond extractivism and the energy transition in Peru - London Mining Network London Mining Network - Holding the Mining Industry to Account

The piece calls out the Global North for its harmful focus on securing "critical minerals" at any cost, and sets out how Peru could work towards an alternative transition, rooted in Indigenous ways of "good living" in harmony with nature.

Read the statement:
londonminingnetwork.org/2026/03/call...

An energy transition in the Global North which is dependent on expanding extractivism will entrench ecological injustice.

Red Muqui, a collective of 32 orgs in Peru, has published a position statement setting out the need to look beyond the energy transition and build a post-extractivist future 👇

Corruption enables the mining industry to perpetrate environmental crimes, and withholds justice from mining affected communities.

"Dazzling in the bold questions it asks and its beautifully, compellingly written answers, Extraction reminds us that the transition to an economy free from fossil fuels still allows for the endurance of extractivism. To disrupt these rapacious continuities, we need Riofrancos's rigorous research"
