The Volcanic Ash and Critical Minerals Policies

The Volcanic Ash and Critical Minerals Policies refer to guidelines aimed at managing the environmental and economic impacts of volcanic ash while ensuring the sustainable extraction and use of essential minerals. Volcanic ash can damage infrastructure and disrupt air travel, so policies focus on monitoring and mitigating these effects. Critical minerals, essential for technology and energy industries, require responsible mining practices to balance environmental protection with economic growth. Together, these policies promote safety, environmental stewardship, and resource management to support both community resilience and technological advancement.
