Mining and extractivism continue to drive environmental destruction and human rights violations, disproportionately shifting the burden of global resource consumption onto the Global South. As these industries remain central to the global economy, they reinforce systemic inequality and corporate impunity. Post-extractivism calls for a decisive shift: toward commons-based governance rooted in community-led land use planning and the recognition of the Rights of Nature. It envisions regenerative economies that centre Indigenous knowledge, territorial rights, and ecological justice over extractive growth at all costs.
