The Philippines’ new critical-minerals policy targets at least 9 million hectares (22 million acres) of prospective mineral areas, more than 11 times the land currently covered by approved mining projects, according to an environmental legal group.
As captive coal plants support Indonesia’s growing nickel industry, communities in North Maluku and Central Sulawesi shoulder the burden.
A new report warns that surging demand for critical minerals is intensifying environmental and social harms, particularly in resource-rich countries, while much of the extraction serves industries beyond clean energy.
Indonesia holds the world’s largest nickel reserves and has rapidly expanded production, which a new study says has grown roughly tenfold over the past decade.
