Integrated Mine Closure: Good practice guide (2nd edition), International Council on Mining and Metals, 2019
Integrated Mine Closure: Good practice guide provides practical guidance for a key challenge to mining: closing a mine in a sustainable manner. This is what ultimately defines the long-term environmental and social impact of a mine.
The toolkit is structured according to the mine life cycle, starting out with conceptual closure planning and becoming iteratively more detailed.
Also visit the International Council on Mining and Metals website for more information about planning for the closure of mines.

Independent report: Identifying potential overlap between extractive industries and natural World Heritage sites, United Nations Environment Programme, 2013
This report presents the results of a study into potential overlap between extractive industries (mining, oil and gas) and natural World Heritage sites. At the time of this study, the UNESCO World Heritage (WH) List included 217 properties recognized for their natural Outstanding Universal Value. UNEP-WCMC, with inputs from a number of partners, conducted an analysis at the global level of the association between the IHS and SNL global datasets on extractive activities and natural WH sites. Noting the inherent limitations of using global data for site-scale analysis, the resulting report provides statistical and geographical data on the extent of potential overlap indicated by the global extractives datasets. The report provides discussions and conclusions and suggests possible next steps.
