Abstract

Perú como importante país minero, ha acumulado Pasivos Ambientales Mineros en actual proceso de remediación y cierre. Este artículo tiene como objetivo documentar los avances normativos y de gestión respecto al manejo de los Pasivos Ambientales Mineros (PAM) en el Perú; como metodología se basa en la revisión documentaria emitida por el Ministerio de Energía y Minas (MINEM) y Activos Mineros SAC (AMSAC) como entidades públicas encargadas de la gestión de los PAM; y como resultado, se presentan la evolución del inventario de los PAM y los avances en la gestión de los PAM en el Perú; dando lugar a conclusiones donde es posible advertir un avance considerable en la gestión y las oportunidades de una economía circular y cooperación internacional, generando valor en la gestión de los Pasivos Ambientales Mineros en el Perú.

Review

This article addresses a critically important topic for a major mining country like Peru: the evolution of its regulatory and management frameworks for Mining Environmental Liabilities (MELs). By focusing on the documentary review of materials from key government entities, the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) and Activos Mineros SAC (AMSAC), the paper provides a focused look at the state's efforts to remediate and close these historical environmental burdens. The objective to document these advancements is clearly stated and directly responds to a pressing environmental and social challenge, highlighting the ongoing commitment to manage these liabilities. The findings, detailing the evolution of the MELs inventory and the progress in their management, offer valuable insights into the governmental perspective and actions undertaken. The authors' conclusion that there has been "considerable advance" in management, coupled with identified opportunities for a circular economy and international cooperation, suggests a forward-looking perspective on generating value from this challenging situation. This documentation is essential for tracking progress and understanding the policy trajectory, making a relevant contribution to the discourse on sustainable mining practices in the region. While the article effectively documents the official advances and the optimistic outlook, future research could benefit from a more critical evaluation of the practical implementation and effectiveness of these policies on the ground. Expanding the methodology to include perspectives from affected communities, independent environmental organizations, or even a comparative analysis with other mining nations could provide a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of both the achievements and persistent challenges. Nevertheless, this work serves as a vital record of Peru's institutional journey in managing its mining environmental legacy and points towards strategic directions for further improvement and value creation.
