This study employs an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model to project global copper demand through 2030, incorporating key variables such as gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, copper prices, and aluminum prices as a substitute. The analysis adjusts copper consumption data to account for the contributions of wind and solar energy systems and electric vehicles, highlighting their growing influence on demand. Results show that GDP growth remains the primary driver of copper demand, with a strong correlation between annual changes in GDP and demand fluctuations. Copper demand demonstrates a slow response to price variations, with significant lagged effects. While aluminum serves as the primary substitute for copper, its limited performance in critical applications underscores copper's continued dominance in energy-related technologies. The adjusted model reveals that traditional econometric approaches may underestimate the impact of clean energy technologies, projecting substantial increases in copper demand by 2030 under different energy transition scenarios. These findings highlight the importance of integrating emerging trends into projection models to guide policymakers and industry stakeholders in addressing supply constraints, market volatility, and sustainability challenges.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20970,"journal":{"name":"Resources Policy","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 105567"},"PeriodicalIF":10.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143738600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When natural water flows are restored the inundated areas most often may be many times larger than the hitherto existing ones. This requires rethinking of existing land use in artificially-drained mining areas by using tailor-made spatial planning policy to address future changes in water conditions. The main goal of this paper is to show that in such areas the current prevalent practice of classical hydrological modeling using only the base flood translates into inadequacies in spatial planning policies. To accurately model the hydrological hazard in such areas, water equal to or greater than the 500-year flood as well as other flood-related geohazards and risks must be taken into consideration. The current practice and omissions can now be precisely updated and satisfied by the author's site-specific decision support tools, namely (1) hydrological hazard frameworks based on (2) relative elevation models. This article is the first in a series describing the use of the author's tools in spatial planning policy. Regardless of the restoration of natural water flows, these tools conceptualize, simplify and optimize spatial planning and environmental policies for mitigation of flood-related geohazards and risks in artificially-drained mine subsidence areas and constitute the key research finding of this paper. Due to the massive extent of mining and post-mining areas around the world, these decision support tools for spatial planning policy are applicable globally and can bring tangible and far-reaching benefits to regional economies and local communities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20970,"journal":{"name":"Resources Policy","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 105572"},"PeriodicalIF":10.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143748527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through this research, we have discovered that multiple drivers exist in the adoption of new technologies such as to increase productivity/efficiency, improve worker health and safety, and to increase sustainability. Although barriers were not as explicit, there were also concrete challenges to adopting new technologies identified such as mining culture and attitudes, technology and infrastructure challenges, and implementation challenges. Our research also highlights the need to adapt existing technology adoption theories to account for industry-specific factors such as the importance of health and safety. Additionally, this research provides insights for mining companies, technology providers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to develop strategies that support technology adoption and innovation in the mining sector.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20970,"journal":{"name":"Resources Policy","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 105566"},"PeriodicalIF":10.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143761274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on an interdisciplinary exploratory and reflective methodology relying on four different data streams, this paper offers empirical research on how trust can be built and sustained in-country and through a combination of policies and practices, both on the part of mining companies and governments. We conceptualise trust in terms of confidence about a situation or entity based on experience and reasonable expectations. We found that in critical minerals mining communities, key predictors of trust are satisfaction, participation, social cohesion that is built on shared experiences of the past and present, and an adequate degree of social and economic independence for affected communities. The policy implications of the centrality of trust come at a crucial time when critiques of the role of the critical minerals industry in re-colonising and greenwashing are on the rise. This study finds government regulatory and policy settings can be used to promote trust in ways that are applicable to both developed and developing countries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20970,"journal":{"name":"Resources Policy","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 105568"},"PeriodicalIF":10.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143734934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key research question addressed by this study is: How do democracy and natural resources, as political and economic factors, impact the ecological footprint in South Africa? To answer this question, this study investigates the potential hidden impacts of democracy and natural resources on the ecological footprint in South Africa for the period 1970–2021 using the Fourier Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (FNARDL) model. This study thus positions itself as a pioneering work in examining the determinants of ecological pressure using the FNARDL method. While findings from the ARDL model indicate that these factors are statistically insignificant, the FNARDL model reveals that democracy and natural resources significantly reduce the ecological footprint under structural breaks. Furthermore, it has been found that economic growth, urbanization, and energy consumption positively impact the ecological footprint. These findings help inform policy by clarifying the complex links between politics, economics, and environmental sustainability in South Africa.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20970,"journal":{"name":"Resources Policy","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 105573"},"PeriodicalIF":10.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143734935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
