During the two years of MMSD's existence, a key feature of the
work was the commissioning of research around a number of themes
related to sustainable development and the mining and minerals sector.
These reports were intended to inform the work of the Project Final
Report and also to stand on their own as Working Papers that provide
more in-depth analysis of specific areas of interest.
