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.
