Climate induced transformation of agriculture to artisanal mining
For example, artisanal and small-scale mining of gold in Ghana generated about $2.5 billion in 2012 and $2 billion in 2016 with an annual revenue growth of 22% from 1990 to 2016 (Owusu et al., 2019). Artisanal mining has accounted for at least 30% of the total gold produced in Ghana since 2011 (Owusu et al., 2019).
