SUMMARY:New Perspectives on Mine Closure
DESCRIPTION:Mine closure is an issue of growing importance for mining companies\, the communities that host operations\, Indigenous peoples\, and governments with regulatory oversight of closure planning. In the coming years\, the world’s top miners are expected to spend over $50 billion (USD) closing mines and managing legacy sites. For many stakeholders and rightsholders\, there is a growing expectation that successful closure plans will go beyond remediation and short-term technical solutions to consider the complex socio-economic aspects of closure. Best practice planning is now expected to include measures that support a just transition for workers\, communities\, and governments as the jobs\, taxes\, royalties\, and philanthropic investments associated with producing mines diminish and then disappear. In this course presented by EGBC in Partnership with BRIMM Mining Education at UBC\, participants will examine the social and environmental dimensions of mine closure.

SUMMARY:National Knowledge Assessment Virtual Scoping Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Canada’s National Knowledge Assessment process\, Canada in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action\, is led by Natural Resources Canada with the goal of assessing\, synthesizing and sharing the latest knowledge on climate change impacts and adaptation in Canada to help inform and advance decision making. The process involves broad and meaningful engagement with different sectors\, governments\, universities\, Indigenous groups\, and communities from across the country to develop authoritative reports that assess the latest knowledge on how and why Canada’s climate is changing; the impacts of these changes on our communities\, environment and economy; and how we are adapting. To wrap up the scoping activities that have been underway since May 2023 and ensure we hear from as many people as possible\, the Assessment Secretariat is hosting a virtual scoping workshop. The goal of this workshop is to gather ideas\, perspectives\, and feedback on the overall scope and approach for the next Assessment process (2023-2028) to help ensure that the final Assessment products best meet the needs of intended audiences\, while helping to advance adaptation in Canada. Delivered by Climate Risk Institute.
