- Coal mining significantly affects both the environment and the lives of people living near mining sites, especially in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, where the study is focused.
- Researchers used remote sensing, GIS, and stakeholder interviews to analyze the effects of coal mining, specifically tracking issues like land clearing, water coverage, and safety risks linked to mining permits.
- Findings indicate that poor governance and inadequate monitoring have resulted in severe consequences, including deforestation, settlement conflicts, regulatory violations, and human fatalities, raising concerns about sustainability and human rights in the global coal supply chain.
