Conference Proceedings
SDIMI 2009 - Sustainable Development Indicators in the Minerals Industry
TheSustainable Development Indicators in the Minerals Industry (SDIMI)
conference provided a unique opportunity for Australian and international
researchers and industry practitioners to engage in dialogue about the future of
the minerals industry and its contribution to society. The conference came at a
critical point in the history of the industry, with the confluence of tighter
controls on carbon emissions, increased competition for key resources such as
water and land, rising community expectations and a prolonged global economic
downturn presenting unprecedented challenges for the sector.
Reflecting the strong multi-disciplinary focus of SDIMI, the papers address a
broad range of themes encompassing the social and human, as well as the
environmental and technological, dimensions of sustainability.
