Mineral Policy Institute

Give a One Off Donation Give a Regular Donation
The Mineral Policy Institute (MPI) is an Australian based, not-for-profit non-government organisation specialising in research, capacity building, advocacy and campaigning to prevent environmentally and socially destructive mining, minerals and energy projects and to protect and enhance the natural environment.
  • We work to ensure that the mining, minerals and energy industries comply with the principles of social justice, human rights and ecologically sustainable development.
  • We work with communities and their organisations to promote and protect the rights of those faced with the environmental, cultural and economic impacts of mining, minerals and energy projects.
  • We promote equitable and efficient mineral and energy use and reduced resource consumption.

How will these funds be used?

Funds donated will be utilised to enable MPI's ongoing support of communities defending their environments, livelihoods and rights across the globe. It will support activities including education, awareness and capacity building programs with remote communities across the globe, independent research examining the key threats and risks posed by mining to important environmental, social and cultural values and advocacy and campaigns to ensure changes in policies and practices of a range of actors involved in the mining sector
