In the report, the term “extractivism economy” refers to the industries, actors and
financial flows, as well as to the economic, material and social processes and outputs,
associated with the globalized extraction of natural resources. The extractivism economy
includes mineral and fossil fuel extraction, and monocultural large-scale agricultural,
forestry and fishery operations. (...) It is beyond the scope of the Special Rapporteur’s mandate, and not the objective of
the present report, to condemn all forms of natural resource extraction as inherently
unequal, unjust or discriminatory. (...) Some have noted, for example, that the history of Latin
America “is inseparably linked to raw-materials extraction”.17 During each historical phase,
specific forms of natural resource appropriation have been central to the distribution of
political and economic power, and to structuring social and cultural relations.

His work in this regard shows a deep concern among indigenous peoples about the negative effects of natural resource extraction on their environment. (...) According to the Special Rapporteur, threats to traditional Sami livelihoods may also be linked to natural resource extraction:
The Sami way of life, especially in relation to reindeer husbandry, is threatened significantly by competing usage of land, often promoted by the Governments themselves through natural resource extraction or other development projects. In all three Nordic countries, various natural resource extraction and development projects threaten to diminish areas available for grazing.

Project title and project number: Methane Management in Extractive Industries
2. Expected timing/ duration: To be determined.
3. Objective of the project: The objective of the project is to explore methane management methods and technologies along the value chain in key energy-related extractive industries, namely coal, natural gas and oil, for the purpose of determining and
promoting the most efficient methods of measuring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of methane emissions in these industries,
and developing best practices for preventing such emissions.
4. (...) Improved understanding of methane emissions in extractive industries.
EA1.1 examination and evaluation of the techniques and methods used for MRV of methane emissions in extractive industries
in the UNECE member States,
EA1.2 assessment of volumes of methane emissions along the value chain in extractive industries in the UNECE region.

The first panel was on the impact of natural resource riches on national and international tax policy and administration followed by a panel on transfer prices in the extractive industries. (...) However, one very important aspect of natural resource extraction – both for the government and its citizens as well as for the private sector – is the taxation thereof. (...) Applying these concepts to the extractive industries, key challenges include that natural resources are inherently local and cannot be moved to less expensive places to extract, extraction is very capital intensive and financing is thus a major issue, extracted resources need to be processed to be valuable, often involving many different functions and the use of many assets.

Use of construction crane for wood extraction in mountainous terrain
Year of publication 1995
http://www.fao.org/docrep/v5050e/V5050E00.HTM#TopOfPage
This study is one in a series of case studies being undertaken by the FAO Forest Harvesting and Transport Branch as part of its efforts to promote environmentally sound and sustainable forest practices in both natural and plantation forests. (...) This report documents a study on the use of construction crane for wood extraction in mountainous terrain in Austria, providing information on the advantages and limitations of this type of low impact harvesting system. (...) The study proposed that extracting tree length stems or whole trees proved technically feasible with little or no damage to the younger trees of the remaining stand as well as to the soil.

Good natural resource governance: A key to development
May 11, 2022
Globally, natural resources, both renewable and non-renewable, are part of the real wealth of a nation. (...) In Ghana, over the past years, extraction of natural resources such as cocoa, gold, and oil among others has helped transform Ghana’s economic growth, with revenue contribution valued at 67% of exports and 15.4% of GDP. (...) Moreover, he added that, despite Ghana being signatory to the international protocol on Free Prior Inform Consent (FPIC), which makes it important for the local people to agree to any extraction that takes place in their jurisdiction, the final consent must be given by the sector minister which sometimes limit citizens participation in extraction governance.

It is understood that, for the purposes of this Agreement, the rights to the exploration,
exploitation or extraction of natural resources granted by a Contracting State according to the
laws of that State shall also be deemed to be a permanent establishment in that State, without
prejudice to the laws of the Contracting States relating to the natural resources or the
exploration, exploitation or extraction of those resources.”
(...) Article 5 (2) (f) of the UN Model also lists as examples of places that will often constitute
a PE: a mine, an oil or gas well, a quarry or any other place of extraction of natural
resources.
12.13. In discussing this subparagraph (f) the Commentary states that “the term ‘any other
place of extraction of natural resources’ should be interpreted broadly” to include, for
example, all places of extraction of hydrocarbons whether on or offshore.

Commentaries in the sense that a broad interpretation should be given of the term

20 July 2016 | Press Release
Richest countries consume on average 10 times as many materials as world’s poorest, according to a new report by the United Nations Environment Programme-hosted International Resource Panel (IRP).
portada_globalmaterialflows_summary_675.jpg
Rising consumption fuelled by a growing middle class has seen the amount of primary materials extracted from the Earth triple in the last four decades, according to a new report by the United Nations Environment Programme-hosted International Resource Panel (IRP).
(...) With the 2030 Agenda and 17 SDGs in mind, this calls for rethinking the governance of natural resource extraction to maximize its contribution to sustainable development at the global, regional, national and local levels. (...) It also recommends putting a price on primary materials at extraction in order to reflect the social and environmental costs of resource extraction and use while reducing the consumption of materials.
