Deforestation and forest degradation
are the second leading cause of global warming. Forest loss
disrupts ecosystem services, depletes biodiversity, and
ultimately undermines the fulfillment of basic human rights.
The mining sector is the fourth largest driver of
deforestation after agriculture, wood production, and urban
development. To tackle the threat that mining poses to
forests, the World Bank conceived forest-smart mining as
part of their Climate-Smart Mining Initiative, which was
launched in 2019. Forest-smart mining (FSM) is mining that
acknowledges and understands the relationship between
forests and other land uses such as socio-economic uses and
ecosystem services, and actively seeks to reduce loss or
damage to those uses, and in some cases, promote a net gain
for them. In 2020, the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility
(FCPF) made funds available to the Extractives Industries
and Environment & Natural Resources Units of the World
Bank to carry out the study Developing Forest-Smart
Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining Standards/Guidance, and a
sister study Guidance to Applying Nature-Based Solutions in
the Large-Scale Mining Sector that examines the scope for
mining companies to more robustly finance and support
nature-based solutions. The FCPF funded these studies to get
the private sector more directly involved in financing
nature-based solutions. This final report provides an
overview of the project's purpose, scope, methodology,
and processes, and a compilation of the project's
findings, recommendations, and products. The authors
acknowledge with gratitude the valuable inputs from the
Global Advisory Panel, contributing to the
conceptualization, development, and validation of the main
deliverable, the Forest-Smart Artisanal and Small-Scale
Mining Standard (FS-ASM Standard and Guidelines), produced
as annex I to this report. The report provides general
recommendations for the adoption of the FS-ASM Standard in
global and national processes. In addition, there is a suite
of road maps, workplans, and budgets for ground-validating
the standard in the pilot sites in Colombia, Peru, Ghana,
and Liberia. |
