Uncovering the gender-disaggregated employment profile for large-scale mining, focusing on women and their occupations in 12 countries. Rapid technological advances, increasing calls for sustainability, and the low-carbon energy transition are transforming large-scale mining across the globe.

The global move towards achieving net zero emissions will increase demand for low-carbon and clean technologies such as wind turbines, solar photovoltaics, electric vehicles and energy storage. However, the production of these technologies depends heavily on a few geographically concentrated minerals with limited availability.

Resource wealth remains central to most Sub-Saharan African economies, and significant untapped potential is in the ground.
