FRONTIERS is the short name which we apply for practical purposes for the project

Frontiers of natural resource and sustainability governance for a just energy transition. 

Advancing knowledge for a just transition involving and respecting those at risk or in practice adversely affected by transition minerals mining, the FRONTIERS project explores practices in the mining industry and how institutional investors can shape that industry and its impact. Looking at land-based and potential deep-sea mining (DSM), we focus on effects and synergy of risk-based due diligence demands and Rights of Nature claims.

With the aim of developing knowledge that can serve towards a just and fair transition, FRONTIERS aims at developing novel insights into good practices that may serve as inspiration or guidance for various types of actors and stakeholders (human individuals and communities, organisations, and ‘more-than-human’ stakeholders, such as the environment and nature). As part of this, we explore how due diligence and forms of engagement in diverse organizational, normative and regulatory settings can contribute to giving a voice to affected stakeholders, whether human or ‘other-than-human’.
