Abstract
Highlights
- Mining-induced displacement is a severely under researched social policy problem.
- Through global data sources and historic remote sensing we analyze this problem.
- The main output of most mining activity is hazardous waste.
- We confirm waste as the principal source of human displacement globally in mining.
- Resources to fuel urbanisation and energy transition targets will drive increases in waste.
