What are the main socio - environmental consequences that mining might have

in Colombia?

Research problem - How is the problem evidenced?

What is mining, context, strategies, Evidence, Explain.

The mining is a set of processes of extraction and exploitation of the raw material

for its development in the great industries, as it is the infrastructure, technological sectors

that take to us to supply necessities, already are daily or specific to be able to have a

comfort in all the aspects. For this research problem, we will focus or focus on the

panorama of Colombia, referring to the territory as social and environmental development,

versus sustainable mining and its repercussions or consequences on its work environment,

with influences from the mining legal framework (Constitution of 1991).

However, without sustainable mining (environmentally friendly) and mostly

promoted by multinationals, it deteriorates or produces consequences in social and labor

development, generating discontent, to the extent of participating in illegal extraction by

society, without the coverage or shelter of the government. Therefore, the conflicts increase

exponentially, affecting the territory, and damaging the socio-environmental part in all

aspects.

Justification

This analysis and research was developed with the purpose of evidencing and

describing the consequences generated by mining in Colombia, based on parameters such

as the territory, the socio-environmental development generated in the six regions included

in Colombia, and the use of its soils for the due process of extraction and exploitation

included in the mining code, governed by the 1991 constitution.

Likewise, to promote the updating, research and development for a better

understanding of the aspects that concern us as a career of mining engineer and to modify

part of a mining code that is a little, obsolete for its time, to promote strategies based on the

consequences shown in the report, to consolidate the industry and society without affecting

the environment. Generate benefits by becoming a sustainable mining and its possible

novelties in the immense forms of extraction and exploitation (Competencies for the

future), taking into account the progress of Colombia.

Include literature or previous studies

Mining, territory and conflict in Colombia made from Catalina Toro-PerezJulio

Fierrro-Morales, Sergio Coronado, Tatiana Roa, eds.

It divides the analysis into five themes: mining and energy problems in the

continental context; the financing of the economy, the development of mining policy and its

impacts on our territory; subsequently, it compiles an analysis of the legal institutionalists

of mining in our country, mining legislation and community actions in this regard; the

fourth theme deals with the socio-environmental and territorial conflicts associated with

mining projects; finally, the fifth part summarizes the pedagogies of resistance in defense of

life and territory in our country.

Establishment of objectives

Taking into account the above, this study aims to describe the main socio-

environmental consequences that mining could have in Colombia. In the same way, to

show and evaluate the panorama of the territory as a space for life and social,

environmental, labour and social security development in the face of mining and its

consequences in Colombia.
