Abstract
In the year 2100, 5-6% of the surface of Cuba will be submerged by the elevation of the sea due to climate change, affecting some 6,000 km2 of coastline. This will force the rational use of the emerged territory. To solve the problems of this situation, the Cuban Government created the State Plan to Confront Climate Change - Life Task, which includes the territorial dimension to solve it with the implementation of actions for changes in land use, developing conceptions construction of infrastructures, the efficient adaptation of agricultural activity for food security, increase in water productivity, tourism development, reforestation and others that should lead to the integration of Geology and Mining with the Task of Life. Open pit mining is one of the activities that most impacts the environment. After having analyzed more than 300 abandoned quarries in the provinces of Havana, Artemisa and Mayabeque, rehabilitation solutions and new uses were proposed that revert to economic and environmental benefits for the country, such as: location of agricultural, industrial and urban; recreation areas; regulation of micro mining activity; recycling of rubble for building materials; new technologies for the deposit and treatment of urban solid waste; physical-chemical treatment of water that emerges in the quarries to use them; reforestation, revegetation; all based on sustainable local development, which is in correspondence with the Life Task for the achievement of its purposes.
