Forest-risk Extractives: A Global Geospatial Analysis
Provides a comprehensive overview of the environmental risks posed by mining and oil & gas projects on global forest ecosystems. Using a geospatial analysis, the study examines the proximity of extractive assets to forests, highlighting the potential for deforestation and biodiversity loss. A valuable tool for financial institutions to understand their exposure to forest-risk extractive assets and mitigate the environmental impact of their investments in the sector.
