Since the 1960s, environmental impact assessments (EIAs) and recently, social impact assessments (SIAs), have been conducted during the planning stages of large development projects to identify potential adverse effects and propose mitigation measures to ameliorate these impacts. EIAs and SIAs should outline all possible positive and negative effects of a proposed action or development on ecological and social systems, respectively, including biodiversity, flora and fauna, abiotic components (such as air quality), human health, security and wellbeing. The work outlined herein aims to generate a list of all possible direct and indirect effects of metal mining (including gold, iron, copper, nickel, zinc, silver, molybdenum and lead) along with the impacts of mitigation measures proposed, that are mentioned in EIAs and SIAs in Arctic and boreal regions of the following countries/regions: Canada, Alaska (USA), Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. We will conduct searches for environmental and social impact assessments in Swedish and English, and until theoretical saturation is reached (i.e. no new action-impact pathways are identified). We will perform searches of specialist websites (e.g. public repositories of environmental and social impact assessments) and Google Scholar. We will also contact relevant stakeholders (that have been identified in the wider 3MK project https://osf.io/cvh3u/ ) and make a call for additional information. Eligibility screening will be conducted at two levels: title and full text. Meta-data will be extracted from eligible studies including type of mining activity, location of mine, type of impacts, and planned mitigation measures. Findings will be presented narratively, in a searchable relational database and in an evidence altas (a cartographic map). We will produce a framework of different mining impacts and related mitigation measures from practitioners’ knowledge reflected in EIAs and SIAs. This framework will further form the basis of a multiple knowledge base on mining impacts and mitigation measures generated from different knowledges including scientific, Indigenous, and practitioners’ knowledge.

使用环境和社会影响评估来绘制北极和北方地区金属开采及其减缓措施的预测和潜在影响：系统地图协议

自1960年代以来，在大型开发项目的规划阶段就进行了环境影响评估（EIA）和最近的社会影响评估（SIA），以识别潜在的不利影响并提出缓解措施以减轻这些影响。EIA和SIA应该分别概述拟议的行动或发展对生态和社会系统的所有可能的正面和负面影响，包括生物多样性，动植物，非生物成分（例如空气质量），人类健康，安全和福祉。本文概述的工作旨在列出金属开采（包括金，铁，铜，镍，锌，银，钼和铅）的所有可能的直接和间接影响，以及拟议的缓解措施的影响，在以下国家/地区的北极和北方地区的EIA和SIA中提到了这些问题：加拿大，阿拉斯加（美国），格陵兰，法罗群岛，冰岛，挪威，瑞典，芬兰和俄罗斯。我们将以瑞典语和英语进行搜索，以评估环境和社会影响，直至达到理论饱和（即未发现新的行动影响途径）。我们将搜索专业网站（例如环境和社会影响评估的公共存储库）和Google Scholar。我们还将联系相关的利益相关者（在更广泛的3MK项目https://osf.io/cvh3u/中已确定），并呼吁提供更多信息。资格筛选将在两个级别进行：标题和全文。元数据将从符合条件的研究中提取，包括采矿活动的类型，矿山的位置，影响类型和计划的缓解措施。调查结果将以叙事方式，可搜索的关系数据库和证据高度图（制图地图）呈现。我们将从EIA和SIA中反映的从业者知识中产生不同采矿影响和相关缓解措施的框架。该框架将进一步构成关于采矿影响和缓解措施的多重知识库的基础，该采矿影响和缓解措施是由不同知识（包括科学，土著和从业者的知识）产生的。我们将从EIA和SIA中反映的从业者知识中产生不同采矿影响和相关缓解措施的框架。该框架将进一步构成关于采矿影响和缓解措施的多重知识库的基础，该采矿影响和缓解措施是由不同知识（包括科学，土著和从业者的知识）产生的。我们将从EIA和SIA中反映的从业者知识中产生不同采矿影响和相关缓解措施的框架。该框架将进一步形成关于采矿影响和缓解措施的多重知识库的基础，该采矿影响和缓解措施是由不同知识（包括科学，土著和从业者的知识）产生的。
