Date: Nov 07 - 12, 2022
Time: utc
Location: University Campus Building
As global mineral demand rises alongside climate and social imperatives, mining stakeholders are increasingly called to act as long-term land stewards. CCSI’s Perrine Toledano and Lara Fornabaio facilitated a workshop designed to move beyond strategy and into actionable insights. CCSI shared the range of corporate motivations for adopting a land-stewardship approach, and aligned them with a range of opportunities for nature-based solutions and land-related circular economy approaches along the mining lifecycle. Speakers intervened with company and community perspectives on integrating these approaches.

More about the Series:
This event is a part of a series of discussions to unpack how Socio-bioeconomy approaches can be embedded across the mining lifecycle.
Having kicked off discussions at New York Climate Week, we are keen to build on lessons surfaced by practitioners, and explore the following questions:
• What value-chain–wide NbS collaboration can look like
• How to shift from firm-level actions to sector-level change
• Metrics and partnerships for landscape-scale outcomes
• Genuine opportunities for IPLC participation and leadership
• Where industry sees promise—and where hesitance remains
