Research project and research aims
This is the first of a series of Briefing Papers on the impacts of rare earth mining in Kachin State. The research that underpins these briefings is from a two-year research project (2022-2024) jointly led by the University of Warwick and Kachinland Research Centre (KRC) entitled Local Impacts of Rare Earths Elements Extraction in the Myanmar-China borderlands.
The research project has three key aims:
- To generate a new evidence base on how the rare earth mining sector operates in northern Myanmar and the impacts that it is having on local populations and environments.
- To engage with communities, civil society organisation and other local stakeholders so that research findings can inform responses to mining activities, especially efforts to mitigate the harms generated by current mining practices.
- To engage with policymakers and practitioners working in Myanmar about what is happening in rare earth mining areas of Kachin State to inform policy processes seeking to support responsible mining practices and to mitigate social and environmental harms in these areas.
