Mining concessions are often granted without sufficient information about their impact on ecosystem services, thus jeopardizing human rights and biodiversity. Here tools are proposed based on ecosystem services, human rights and economics, to construct more solid decision support. Specifically, a framework is proposed for connecting Ecosystems and Well-being Frameworks with Sustainable Development Goal 16 on peace, justice and the human rights principles, as a support tool to assess the full environmental and human rights impacts of mining, and to support sound policies in mining. Notably, these tools help to clarify for right holders and duty bearers the difficult balance between short term benefits, and long term and often geographically distant negative impacts. This policy report is informed by both legal and economic perspectives and dialogue with different right holders and duty bearers including practitioners from different countries (see Box 1). A dialogue between distinct perspectives and disciplinary insights can provide inputs for a stronger case for achieving a sustainable development that safeguards people’s human rights, biodiversity and healthy ecosystems. Operationalizing human rights principles in mining decision making helps to achieve SDG 16, and, safeguarding biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.
