The Coalition Against The Mining Pandemic

About Us

Who we are & what we do

The Coalition Against the Mining Pandemic works in global solidarity with communities, Indigenous Peoples, and workers to respond to mining abuses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We work as a consensus-based coalition conducting collective research and advocacy on the intersection of mining and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our members include human rights, land and water defenders from around the World.

The main questions

Our research guide

Our work is informed by the following guiding questions:

How do mining companies continue to or reap new benefit from the pandemic?

How are mining companies and states seeking to use the COVID pandemic as an opportunity to circumvent or roll back regulations that safeguard ecological health and the rights of communities and workers? Or otherwise maneuvering to ensure mining is central to “economic recovery”?

How are mining companies, states and associated actors seeking to use the COVID pandemic as an opportunity to stifle or repress, human rights, land and water defenders protesting their operations, to shrink civic space and criminalize protest ?

How are affected communities responding to these threats, through resistance measures and/or the development of their own alternatives?
