This study aims to estimate the contribution of mining-induced FCL to carbon sequestration loss (CSL) and carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) emissions from 2000 to 2019 using proxy datasets. For the FCL analysis, global FCL data with a spatial resolution of 30 m were developed by Hansen et al. (2013), was employed in the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud platform. In addition, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-based Net Primary Productivity (NPP) data and biomass datasets developed by Zhang and Liang (2020) were used to assess CSL and CO\u2082 emissions. The results of the study showed approximately 16,785.90 km worldwide\u00a0<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0FCL due to mining activities, resulting in an estimated CSL of \u223c36,363.17 Gg CO\u2082\/yr and CO\u2082 emissions of \u223c490,525.30 Gg CO\u2082. Indonesia emerged as the largest contributor to mining-induced FCL, accounting for 3,622.78 km\u00a0<sup>2<\/sup> of deforestation or 21.58 % of the global total. Brazil and Canada followed with significant deforestation and CO\u2082 emissions. The findings revealed that mining activities are a major driver of deforestation, especially in resource-rich regions, leading to substantial environmental degradation.
