The role of mineral resource assessments in ecological stewardship

Women have a right to excel in all spheres of activity. However, their roles are mainly confined in the resource extraction industry due to masculinity bias. African women are considered exemplary cases where women have low access to finance and economic opportunities to progress in the natural resource industry. This study examines the role of women’s autonomy in mineral resource extraction by controlling ecological footprints, financial development, environmental degradation, economic growth, and changes in the general price level in the Democratic Republic of the Congo data from 1975–2019. The autoregressive distributed lag estimates show that in the short-run, women’s autonomy decreases mineral resource rents; however, this result disappears in the long-run and the positive role of women’s autonomy in increasing resource capital is confirmed. Ecological footprints are in jeopardy from saving mineral resources both in the short- and long-term. Financial development negatively impacts mineral resource rents, while women’s access to finance supports the mineral resource agenda. The positive role of women in environmental protection has led to increased mineral resource rents in the short- and long-term. Women’s social and economic autonomy increases mineral resource rents in the short-term, while it has evaporated in the long-term. The Granger causality has confirmed the unidirectional linkages running from women’s green ecological footprints, access to finance, and women participating in environmental protection to mineral resource rents in a country. The variance decomposition analysis has shown that women’s economic autonomy and access to finance will exert more significant variance shocks to mineral resource rents over the next ten years’ period. The results conclude the positive role of women’s freedom in the mineral resource sustainability agenda. Thus, there is a high need to authorize women through access to finance and economic decisions to restore natural resource capital nationwide.

Role Of Government

<p>PV has been firstly introduced in Indonesia by government as part of new and renewable enegies (NREs) since new order regime. During this regime, directive of PV development was totally determined by strong role of government. Afterwards, in reformation regime, role of enterprises to develop PV appeared when government issued regulation about use of local products as well as formation of the directorate of NREs at Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resource (ESDM) in 2010. To capture phenomena of PV development during new order regime to reformation regime, technological innovation system (TIS) is used on this study. This study is a qualitative analysis using case study method developed by Yin. Finding of this study is that PV projects and its technology cannot be massively developed without intervention of government both in new order regime and reformation regime.</p><em></em>

The Stability

As of now, the mineral resource complex (MRC) is playing a crucial role in the Russian economy. In a situation when the resource base is becoming problematic and the economy of knowledge begins to hold sway, the stability and competitiveness of the complex will depend on innovative technological development in many ways. The factor that is becoming ever more crucial for the MRC is the use of new knowledge and technologies: the rights to results of intellectual work, technologies that allow extraction and economic exploitation of scarce and hard-to-reach resources. The conducted analysis has revealed that the Russian MRC currently demonstrates low innovation activity and lacks new technologies conducive to efficient technical and economic implementation of numerous new projects. Development and widespread introduction of domestic innovative technologies, equipment and materials are becoming the concerns of vital importance. Considering the role of MRC in the Russian economy, growing complexity of the resource base, sanctions from a number of states, the current situation in the innovative sphere may hardly be accepted as satisfactory. The indicators of the economic development testify to the existing discrepancy between the role of MRC in the Russian economy and the results of innovation policy of domestic extracting companies

Key Factor

The article systematizes the main governance factors for ensuring the effective functioning of the mineral and raw materials complex (MRMC) of Russia and its rapid, sustainable and high-quality growth. The role of industrial policy as a key factor in the rational reproduction and diversification of the mineral resource complex is emphasized. Examples of innovative development of the complex in the aspects of increasing the output of high added value products and improving the environmental friendliness of production are given. Recommendations for improving the governance of exploration activities are given. A methodological approach to the governance of unified production and technological chains in the mineral resource complex is proposed. The author formulates the considerations concerning the activation of innovative activity of the complex companies based on the improvement of corporate management.

Ecological Preservation

Rather than view the market as a tool for addressing climate change, through carbon tax or carbon permits, we argue that redefining “property” is more effective. Instead of right to exclude and absolute individual ownershp, we recommend ecological communities which prioritize human relationships and ecological stewardship. Global federations of ecological regions will manage nutrient flows on the local and global level, with democratic participation informed by ecological science. New values of caring for the earth will support and sustain new forms of solidarity. JEL Classification: B5, Q5

The Relationship

Increasing numbers of exploration companies are visiting the Geological Survey of Greenland's (GGU) headquarters in Copenhagen. A main reason for this was the announcement on 10th January 1991 by the Mineral Resources Administration for Greenland of a new policy to encourage exploration and exploitation of mineral resources in Greenland. Subsequently, new legislation replacing the previous mining law, was passed in June 1991. Some of the questions asked by visitors concern the relationship between the work areas of the industry and the role of the Survey. These questions focus on two of GGU's key functions: (1) the obligation to act as a data bank by collecting and compiling all types of geodata about Greenland; and (2) the active assessment of the mineral potential of Greenland by carrying out laboratory and field studies.
