By focusing on poverty, this project aims to integrate the determinants of poverty within the framework of Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) to better understand how mining and forestry activities influence this phenomenon. It goes beyond a strictly monetary interpretation of poverty and captures its multidimensional and contextual nature. Using an SLCA approach, this study seeks to develop a new method for assessing poverty, based on identifying and considering the determinants of its impact. These determinants are understood here as the factors that influence the occurrence or severity of the impact. This will allow for a more realistic assessment, reflecting geographical and socio-economic contexts as well as the individual characteristics of people, since poverty is experienced or perceived differently by individuals within the same locality. Although the method is applied to the mining and forestry sectors, it will be designed to be adaptable to other natural resource extraction sectors.
