“…Thus, including the perspectives of key stakeholders within miningscapes is critical towards strategizing effective adaptation approaches. For instance, the perspectives of key actors such as operational workers and households are critical to understand mining-climate interactions apart from the climate risk analysis, which characterize most of the mining-climate studies (Damigos, 2012;Gonzalez et al, 2019;Liu & Song, 2019).…”

“…African region (Atiah et al, 2019;Logah et al, 2021;Obada et al, 2021). Particularly, the selected indices are relevant pointers to the potential impact of climate change on socio-economic activities at different scales such as mining operations (Gonzalez et al, 2019) and rural livelihoods (Atiah et al, 2019). Table 3-2 provides potential risk and impact of climate variability on mining sustainability that can be inferred from the selected ETCCDI indices as indicated in literature.…”

“…Each phase of the minerals extraction process has some form of connection with the prevailing climatic condition within the mining territory. The operational phase is mainly the commercial phase whereby minerals are produced in commercial quantity and is perceived to be the phase most susceptible to climate extremes (Gonzalez et al, 2019). However, literature affirms the impact of changing climate on each phase of the mining cycle be it feasibility, exploration, development, operation or mine closure (Hodgkinson et al, 2014;Pearce et al, 2010;Rüttinger et al, 2020;Rüttinger & Sharma, 2016) including long-term effects on the soil and aquifers.…”

“…Hodnebrog et al 2016;Richardson et al 2018b). We also provide an analysis of potential future changes in daily extreme precipitation, which historically has shown to impact large areas of South America, e.g., in terms of damage to agriculture, water resources, and economic losses (Avila et al 2016;Cavalcanti et al 2015;Gonzalez et al 2019;Tencer et al 2016).…”

Understanding model diversity in future precipitation projections for South America

Precipitation patterns are expected to change in the future climate, affecting humans through a number of factors. Global climate models (GCM) are our best tools for projecting large-scale changes in climate, but they cannot make reliable projections locally. To abate this problem, we have downscaled three GCMs with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to 50 km horizontal resolution over South America, and 10 km resolution for central Chile, Peru and southern Brazil. Historical simulations for years 1996–2005 generally compare well to precipitation observations and reanalyses. Future simulations for central Chile show reductions in annual precipitation and increases in the number of dry days at the end-of-the-century for a high greenhouse gas emission scenario, regardless of resolution and GCM boundary conditions used. However, future projections for Peru and southern Brazil are more uncertain, and simulations show that increasing the model resolution can switch the sign of precipitation projections. Differences in future precipitation changes between global/regional and high resolution (10 km) are only mildly influenced by the orography resolution, but linked to the convection parameterization, reflected in very different changes in dry static energy flux divergence, vertical velocity and boundary layer height. Our findings imply that using results directly from GCMs, and even from coarse-resolution (50 km) regional models, may give incorrect conclusions about regional-scale precipitation projections. While climate modelling at convection-permitting scales is computationally costly, we show that coarse-resolution regional simulations using a scale-aware convection parameterization, instead of a more conventional scheme, better mirror fine-resolution precipitation projections.

“…Además, hay que tener en cuenta que Perú, junto con Australia, es uno de los países con las mayores reservas mundiales de cobre; alcanzando entre ambos los 87 millones de toneladas métricas (USGS, 2020). Asimismo, el 14,8% del territorio peruano se encuentra bajo concesiones mineras, de las cuales, solo han sido explotadas el 0,9% (Gonzales et al, 2019). Hoy en día existen 25 nuevos proyectos cupríferos en Perú que representan el 52% de la cartera de proyectos de construcción de mina del 2019 y el 71% de las inversiones (Dirección General de Promoción y Sostenibilidad Minera [DGPSM], 2020).…”

A pesar de tener una economía emergente, Perú es uno de los principales productores cupríferos del mundo, sosteniendo gran parte de su desarrollo sobre la base de esta industria. En tal sentido, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el sistema industrial de la minería de cobre en Perú a partir de sus variables exógenas y endógenas. Con ayuda de un diseño exploratorio y descriptivo, se realizó un análisis estructural (técnica de la prospectiva estratégica francesa) con la participación de un panel de 20 expertos conocedores de la industria minera y de la herramienta Matriz de Impactos Cruzados y Multiplicación Aplicada a una Clasificación. Los resultados identificaron como variables clave al atractivo de inversión, a los conflictos socioambientales y al manejo político; los cuales representan el carácter exógeno de la industria cuprífera peruana. Variables endógenas al sistema, como la eficiencia productiva, la logística del transporte, la generación de empleos y el suministro de energía; se caracterizaron como exclusivamente dependientes de la evolución de las variables exógenas mencionadas. Este estudio constituye un punto de partida importante para la gestión de posibles escenarios futuros de la minería de cobre en Perú; así como para la inversión en su desarrollo económico, social y ambiental a nivel local y regional.
