Responsible Mining and Sustainable Use of Critical Energy Transition Minerals in the Three Tropical Forest Basins
Small Room
World Resources Institute - WRI presents the three major tropical forest basins are crucial for biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration and the rising critical minerals demand. Transition of the mining sector requires efforts on responsible mining practices, circular economy initiatives, and technological innovations.
Meeting rising global demand for critical minerals requires a concerted effort focused on several key strategies. Collaboration among multi-stakeholders is essential to establish secure and sustainable supply chains for these minerals.
The workshop will
– Share lessons: Sharing examples of how development and ecosystem conservation go hand in hand in the mining sector, and the benefits on livelihoods, building resilience and human development
– Make a case for commercialization: Showcase examples of bankable proposals for investment in nature action within the mining sector, and offer guidance
– Drive for wider adoption/engagement: Building upon the standards/framework and cases developed, call for wider adoption and engagement and plan for the next step
