The End of Mining? Or the Beginning of Legacy?
Description
Across the world, thousands of mining operations will enter closure and transition in the next two decades. The question of what happens to mining developments once extraction stops – how closure is planned, financed, governed, and who should take responsibility – are defining issues for an industry facing fresh scrutiny amidst debates around critical minerals and a just energy transition.
In this episode, we discuss legacies as encompassing environmental, social, cultural, economic and governance dimensions that can extend well beyond the mine footprint and persist across generations.
Speakers include:
- Soledad Mills I Senior Vice President at TDi Sustainability
- Dr. Guy Boggs | CEO at CRC TiME
- Dr. Rob Stevens | Senior Associate at IGF
Guy has extensive experience providing leadership in innovation and actively working at the interface of industry and research. He has led the delivery of large Australian Government funded programs driving knowledge development and industry practice change.
At IGF, Rob’s work focuses on supporting member countries with advancing their technical capacity and legal and policy frameworks on mine closure and the post-mining transition.
