Lessons in Mining Sustainability in Latin America
A webinar exploring advances in sustainability around mining and community engagement in Latin America.
Details
Critical minerals provide the building block to many technologies, including electric vehicles and renewable energy sources, and are thus a keystone to a clean energy transition. However, achieving a sustainable approach to mining these minerals - from an environmental, economic, and social perspective – will be key to ensuring that the transition to clean technologies is cost-effective and contributes to a vibrant economy and community wellbeing, both locally and worldwide.
Join Resources for the Future (RFF) for the "Lessons in Mining Sustainability in Latin America" webinar on Tuesday, February 25. We will explore advances in sustainability around mining and community engagement in Latin America, some of the challenges in achieving these improvements, and what the rest of the world can learn from the Latin American experience.
