IGF MINING POLICY FRAMEWORK ASSESSMENT Bhutan
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of Bhutan's mining policy framework against the standards of the Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF). Conducted between February and August 2024, the assessment evaluates Bhutan's readiness to implement sustainable mining practices across five themes: laws and institutions, financial benefits, socio-economic benefits, environmental management, and post-mining transition. While the report highlights Bhutan's strong constitutional commitment to environmental conservation and the integration of Gross National Happiness (GNH) into its development philosophy, it identifies critical gaps in legislative coherence, community engagement, and the technical capacity for monitoring and enforcement.
