Mineral resources are not managed sustainably in Latvia which does not contribute to the development of the national economy. There are several reasons for this situation such as a lack of a comprehensive strategy for the use of subsoil, a lack of complete, high-quality, and timely information about national mineral resources, a lack of structured data and risk-based inspections, and incomplete laws and regulations on renaturalisation of mineral resource extraction sites.
