The UNESCO Chair in Philosophy for Peace at the Universitat Jaume I has hosted a conference focused on the analysis of *extractivist violence*, a new concept that seeks to better understand the forms of violence directed against nature or against people caused by extractive activities. It is a concept coined by Kristina Sehlin MacNeil, co-director of the Sami Studies Centre at Umeå University in Sweden, who spoke at the conference.

These forms of direct, structural or cultural violence include soil, water and air pollution, health impacts, threats and murders, corruption and social engineering practices or "soft counterinsurgency". It is precisely to better understand these forms of violence that the Iberian Mining Observatory (MINOB), an environmental citizenship initiative launched with the support of the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030 by the Centre of Knowledge for Sustainability, has been presented.

MINOB, which was presented by the Director General of Leveraging Policies for the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda, Gabriel Castañares, will compile geo-referenced observations of the violations of social and environmental rights caused by the extractive industry. For the first time, existing evidence on each case will be systematically available. The first 100 cases from Spain and Portugal are currently being prepared, including cases from Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, the Valencian Community, Extremadura and Galicia.

The intention is that this database can contribute to the inspection and control functions of public administrations and security forces, as well as to a better understanding of the impacts caused by mining by institutions, the media, NGOs, social movements and affected local communities. In fact, MINOB will have a monitoring and early warning system to detect, map and denounce violations and malpractices, thus facilitating the exercise and defence of environmental rights and contributing to mitigate existing asymmetries between affected communities and the sector.

The Iberian Mining Observatory database is available at [www.minob.org](http://www.minob.org).
