Small-Scale Mining and Environmental Protection in Peru: What Will New Legislation Bring?

A recent decision by the government of Peru to reactivate the national economy will – among other things – ease environmental protections on mining and energy activities. A law passed earlier this month by the Peruvian Congress has raised key questions about environmental implications of the reforms, including within the artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector. ASGM activities in Peru and globally raise a host of complex environmental and social challenges, and formalization of the sector is viewed as a critical step to addressing such challenges.
