Περίληψη | Greece is one of the EU countries that possess
substantial mineral wealth, consisting of a variety
of minerals and ores with a large industrial
and economic interest. For the first time after a
long period of positive economic growth which
stimulated increased output, the minerals industry
experiences a significant decline in both
production and sales from the second half of
2008 and afterwards. This decline followed the
sharp fall in demand of raw materials in the sectors
of steel, construction and infrastructure.
However, in the years of economic recession,
the challenges for sustainable management,
safety and environmental protection not only
remain but also constitute the most pressing
needs of this era – deeply influencing the development
of the mining industry, its traditional
character for many centuries and finally its very
existence.
This paper presents production data for various
mineral commodities produced in Greece in
the period 2007-2011 fully illustrating the crisis
trends and giving hints for lessons learned. Also,
data from twelve groups of Sustainable Development
Indicators (SDIs) provided by the
Greek Mining Enterprises Association (GMEA)
over this period are discussed giving information
necessary for decision making, identifying
weaknesses, stimulating problem solving,
evaluating the whole system of monitoring and
improving indicators. Results as well as options
for sectoral actions, best practices and policies
are also discussed, providing a holistic comparative analysis for sustainability assessment and
validation of the overall performance of the sector. | en |
