position papers
YLNM Position Papers offer a clear and strong position, based on the reality on the ground. We aim for this perspective to be supported and further developed through emerging position papers from robust research to offer structured positions regarding mining related matters. These are especially relevant as the threat from mining intensifies and assumes new guises. Our members rely on these narrative anchors to support their resistances, as do our allies who have used our previous position papers to inform their own strategies and to advocate in policy spaces.
Militarisation is Extraction: From Mines to Missiles
From the mines that feed militaries, to the militaries that guard the mines.
Towards Just Transitions for People and Planet
Our position paper why a truly just transition must be popular, inclusive, and grounded in the Right to Say No, and a right to choose non-extractive ways of life.
Why we say No to Mining
All communities have the right to defend their territories, livelihoods and the wellbeing of the people and the earth.
All communities have the right to say no to mining.
Gender, Patriarchy and Extractivism
Gender and extractivism are intertwined in multiple and complex ways. In this YLNM position paper, we lay out these links and call for gender justice and the dismantling of patriarchy as central actions to anti-extractivism movements, and deeply necessary for post-extractive futures.
