Green Growth for achieving education and technology transformation in the mining industry

Abstract

Abstract Green growth has emerged as an important means by which developing countries may achieve sustainable development. It means that fostering economic growth and development while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services on which our well-being relies. This study aims to elaborate the economic growth and enhance the synergy between environment, education, economy, and technology. Those parameters are linkage with the roles of the mining industry. The study method is focused on literature review by extracting the information on green growth, technology, education, and mining. The study found that sustainable economic growth achieved through green environmental technologies to maintain and restore environmental quality and ecological integrity while meeting human needs with the lowest possible environmental impacts. In addition, the mining industry contributes significantly to the economy and “Greening” the engineering curriculum is an important consideration for sustainable engineering education from fundamentals to design in the 21st century. The engineering curriculum integrates green engineering concepts horizontally and vertically by taking existing courses and integrating topics as appropriate through examples, problems and case studies. On the other hand, the mining industry is moving towards digitization and digitalization. The digital evolution creates the opportunity for the mining industry, it can change the business model, reducing costs in the value of chain, improving safety and creating opportunities for new business.
