Figure 1 – Collaborative mechanism for nature-positive mining 8. FRAMEWORK APPLICATIONS AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES Post-mining planning should be based on land capability, community priorities, ecological risk, market conditions, and cultural heritage. Table 1 illustrates how different land-use pathways can combine economic, environmental, and social benefits when planned early and monitored transparently. Table 1 – Illustrative post-mining land-use pathways Post-mining use Economic benefit Environmental benefit Social benefit Renewable energy projects New revenue streams and local investment Lower-carbon reuse of disturbed land Community energy access and skills Tourism and recreation Local employment and small business growth Habitat restoration and landscape recovery Cultural heritage preservation Agriculture or forestry Diversified livelihoods Soil regeneration and improved land capability Food security and local enterprise Conservation areas Eco-tourism and research funding Biodiversity conservation and ecological corridors Education and stewardship opportunities Industrial redevelopment Job creation and infrastructure reuse Site remediation and controlled land reuse Community revitalization The examples are not prescriptions. Their value depends on local ecology, infrastructure, community preference, market feasibility, and the long-term capacity to maintain the selected land use after mine closure.
