Across the world, an estimated sixteen million people depend on artisanal and small-scale gold mining. These are miners who work with their hands, with simple tools, in landscapes shaped by hope as well as hardship. Most miners live in low-income countries, where gold is not only a mineral but a livelihood. Artisanal mining is often linked to environmental damage, inequality, and difficult working conditions. Yet it also sustains communities, supports families, and holds the potential to contribute to equitable futures.

Abstract
Across the world, an estimated sixteen million people depend on artisanal and small-scale gold mining. These are miners who work with their hands, with simple tools, in landscapes shaped by hope as well as hardship. Most miners live in low-income countries, where gold is not only a mineral but a livelihood. Artisanal mining is often linked to environmental damage, inequality, and difficult working conditions. Yet it also sustains communities, supports families, and holds the potential to contribute to equitable futures.File allegati a questo prodotto
