Channel: Stockholm Environment Institute
Date: 2022-05-06

The mining sector is critically important for the low-carbon transition and the fulfillment of the UN 2030 Agenda. However, mining is associated with pressing environmental and social challenges in extraction sites, many of which are likely to be exacerbated by climate change. Watch this webinar with high-level speakers to learn more about climate risks in the mining sector. 

In this webinar, recorded 5 May 2022 and hosted by SEI and Mistra Geopolitics, researchers from Stockholm University and Mistra Geopolitics present their findings from the report “Climate risks and community resilience in the mining sector,“ and the results was discussed with prominent speakers. In the report, the adaptation responses of the 37 largest global mining companies have been analysed, and to what extent private initiatives have been regulated by states.

The webinar was moderated by Andrea Lindblom, Senior Communication Officer at SEI and Maria Cole, Senior Communications Officer at SEI and Communications Lead of Mistra Geopolitics.
