Climate changes that occur as a result of global warming caused by increasing amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs) released into the atmosphere are an alarming issue. Controlling greenhouse gas emissions is critically important for the current and future status of mining activities. The mining industry is one of the significant contributors of greenhouse gases. In essence, anthropogenic greenhouse gases are emitted directly during the actual mining and indirectly released by the energy-intensive activities associated with mining equipment, ore transport, and the processing industry. Therefore, we reviewed both direct and indirect GHG emissions to analyze how mining contributes to climate change. In addition, we showed how climate change impacts mineral production. This assessment was performed using a GHG inventory model for the gases released from mines undergoing different product life cycles. We also elucidate the key issues and various research outcomes to demonstrate how the mining industry and policymakers can mitigate GHG emission from the mining sector. The review concludes with an overview of GHG release reduction and mitigation strategies.

由于向大气中释放的温室气体（GHG）数量增加而导致的全球变暖导致的气候变化是一个令人担忧的问题。控制温室气体排放对于采矿活动的当前和未来状态至关重要。采矿业是温室气体的重要贡献者之一。本质上，人为温室气体在实际采矿过程中直接排放，而与采矿设备，矿石运输和加工业相关的高能耗活动间接排放。因此，我们审查了直接和间接温室气体排放，以分析采矿如何促进气候变化。此外，我们展示了气候变化如何影响矿产。使用温室气体清单模型对经历了不同产品生命周期的矿井释放的气体进行了评估。我们还将阐明关键问题和各种研究成果，以证明采矿业和政策制定者如何减少采矿业的温室气体排放。审查总结了减少温室气体排放和缓解策略的概述。
