Platform: Zoom

Invitation

Youtube

Invited speakers

• Presentation of the German “Just Transition” cases from the Ruhr Valley and Lausitz region, focusing on the experiences of the International Building Exhibition (IBA) as a long-term planning tool and the importance of creating a participatory territorial governance platform that allows stakeholders engagement (Multistakeholder Governance Model);

3. Mining & Post Mining Sustainable Landscape

30.09.2020

Platform: Zoom

Invitation

Youtube

Invited speakers

• Presentation of the relevance and potential of the recovery of degraded areas for the diversification of the economic matrix of mining territories;

• Presentation of sustainable territorial development tools such as Sustainable Landscape and Cultural Heritage Landscape that have been successfully implemented in the German IBAs. These concepts make it possible to leverage strategic territorial assets, such as restoration of degraded areas, green infrastructure, water resources, ecotourism, cultural heritage, and proximity agriculture;

• Debate on the evolution, verticalization and transformation of industrial mining production chains, in order to identify and promote new markets that may add value to existing mining activities, as well as the implementation of new sectors for the production of goods and services from the recovery of degraded areas and the enhancement of skills and vocations of territories and communities.

6. Energy Transition and Sustainable Mining

11.11.2020

Platform: Zoom

Invitation

Youtube

Invited speakers

• Presentation on how the mining industry has a crucial role to play in the just transition process. On the one hand, this transition calls for a reduction in the use of non-renewable sources, but on the other hand, the implementation of renewable sources will demand materials produced by mining activity. In other words, the just transition will boost the demand for minerals in order to get an energy transition; 

• Discussion on the role of relevance and the presence of Brazil in the value chains linked to technological innovation for the global energy transition;

• Industrial development and strengthening of productive chains in the mining and renewable energy sectors in Brazil within the scope of Just Transition processes at a global level;

• Development of sustainability best practices throughout the production chains involved.
