Nature-based infrastructure’s role in mining closure plans
This report evaluates the economic and environmental benefits of using nature-based infrastructure (NBI) for progressive mine closure in Marmato, Colombia. It finds that progressive closure provides a return of USD 1.44 for every USD 1 invested, primarily by reducing mortality risks from landslides and tunnel collapses. NBI interventions like reforestation and slope stabilization are highlighted as critical for restoring ecosystems and reducing long-term environmental liabilities in a region where regulatory frameworks for artisanal mining closure are still emerging.
