Environmental/social performance indicators (ESPIs) and sustainability markers in minerals development: reporting progress towards improved health and human well-being
February 23, 1998 to
June 30, 1999
The objective of this project, was to describe, develop, and test new and improved tools and methods for research on ecosystem approaches to human health and wellbeing. It was a collaborative project with the University of Bath, UK, and the University of Antioch, Colombia. In the Phase I, a conceptual framework of performance indicators and sustainability markers was developed. This framework can be used by different user groups to systematically evaluate and communicate the performance of mining projects with regard to improving the well-being of mining related communities over time.Development of 5-kilowatt MCFC (molten carbonate fuel cell)
