A centralized database is needed to summarize and consolidate information on mining operations across the Arctic that have potential impacts on coastal and marine environments. This resource would provide regulators, industry, and stakeholders with easy access to details about regulations and legal frameworks in different Arctic States, inventories of current and approved mining operations, and information on environmental management practices. Such a database would promote knowledge sharing among Arctic States and serve as a valuable tool to inform the sustainability and regulatory aspects of mining in the Arctic.
