露天煤矿安全绿色高效低碳开采是全球露天煤矿发展的共识性目标。我国露天煤矿资源开发强度与生态承载力呈现逆向发展特征，我国西北部生态环境脆弱区已成为露天煤炭的主产区，使得露天煤矿开采与生态环境保护成为亟需解决的重要科学问题、生态问题和发展问题。基于我国露天煤矿发展概况、自然条件及主要影响因素，阐释了实现露天煤矿安全−绿色−高效−低碳开采内涵特征与总体架构，针对露天煤矿采前−采中−采后全生命开采周期特点，从安全开采技术、绿色开采技术、高效开采技术、低碳开采技术4个层次，归纳总结了时效边坡控制技术、智能预警决策技术、运输环节新模式、矿区生态建设、相邻矿山协调开采、智能采矿设计、电动矿卡应用以及采矿源头生态减损8项关键技术，明确了露天煤矿安全−绿色−高效−低碳协同开采研究重点工作和方向。在安全−绿色−高效−低碳协同发展措施方面，从强化顶层设计、加快分布实施、深化科研攻关、提升人才培养以及完善标准规范5个方面，提出2025年、2030年、2035年不同阶段需要完成的目标任务。新时期露天煤矿要坚定不移走安全−绿色−高效−低碳发展路径，实现露天煤矿在新时期、新格局下的高质量发展目标。

The safe, green, efficient and low-carbon coal mining is the common goal of surface coal mines around the world. The development intensity and ecological carrying capacity of surface coal mine resources in China show the reverse development characteristics, and the vulnerable ecological environment areas in northwest China have become the main surface coal production areas, which makes surface coal mining and ecological environment protection become important scientific problems, ecological problems and development problems to be solved urgently. On the basis of the development situation, natural conditions and main influencing factors of surface coal mines, the connotation characteristics and overall structure of realizing the safe-green-efficiency-low-carbon mining of surface coal mines were explained. Aiming at the characteristics of the whole life cycle of pre-mining, mid-mining and post-mining of surface coal mines, in terms of four levels: safe mining technology, green mining technology, efficient mining technology and low-carbon mining technology, this paper puts forward eight key technologies including the time-limited slope control technology, the intelligent early warning decision-making technology, the new mode of transportation link, the ecological construction of mining area, the coordinated mining of adjacent mines, the intelligent mining design, the application of electric mining trucks and the ecological damage reduction at mining sources. The key work and direction of safe-green-high efficiency-low carbon cooperative mining in surface coal mines are clarified. In terms of the measures of safety-green-efficiency-low carbon co-development, regarding strengthening a top-level design, accelerating the distributed implementation, enhancing key researches, promoting personnel training, and improving standards and regulations, the paper proposes the target tasks to be accomplished in different stages in 2025, 2030 and 2035. In the new era, surface coal mines should firmly follow the development path of safe-green-high efficiency-low carbon, and realizes the high-quality development goal of surface coal mines.
