English to Portuguese: Mine tailings dam failures major cause of environmental disasters: report General field: Other Detailed field: Environment & Ecology
Source text - English UNEP notes that large quantities of minerals and metals will be required in the near future for a variety of industrial needs, including the development of green technologies that support the UN´s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The report offers two key recommendations and a number of policy actions to dramatically reduce tailings dam fatalities and accidents.
The first recommendation: Mining companies should strive for a “zero-failure objective,” superseding economic goals. UNEP cites an expert panel convened in the wake of a major tailings dam failure in British Columbia, Canada, the Mount Polley gold and copper mine, which dumped 24 million cubic meters (more than 31 million cubic yards) of mine waste and sludge into neighboring Lake Polley. The panel concluded that “safety attributes should be evaluated separately from economic considerations, and cost should not be the determining factor.”
Translation - Portuguese O PNUMA lembra que uma grande quantidade de minerais e metais serão necessárias em um futuro próximo por várias razões industriais, incluindo o desenvolvimento de tecnologias verdes para apoiar os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODSs), parte da Agenda de 2030 da ONU. O relatório propõe duas recomendações importantes e várias medidas políticas para reduzir drasticamente as fatalidades e acidentes das barragens de rejeito.
A primeira recomendação: O relatório da PNUMA recomenda que as empresas de mineração se empenhem para garantir um “objetivo de falha-zero” no que concerne às barragens de rejeitos, suplantando metas econômicas. O PNUMA cita um quadro de especialistas organizado em decorrência do grave rompimento da barragem de rejeitos na Colúmbia Britânica, Canadá, a mina Mont Polley, de ouro e cobre, que despejou 24 milhões de metros cúbicos de resíduos mineiros e lodo no Lago Polley, situado no entorno. O quadro concluiu que “ os atributos de segurança deveriam ser avaliados separadamente das considerações econômicas, e o custo não deveria ser o fator determinante”.
