In the run-up to the High-Level Forum on Mineral Supply Chains – Responsible Mining for the Just Transition, the Sector Programme “Extractives and Development”, which is jointly implemented by the BGR and GIZ, organised the working-level side event
“Implementing Responsible Mining for the Just Transition” on Wednesday, 31 May 2023 at GIZ’s Berlin Representation and online.
The event brought together policymakers, practitioners, and academics to share and discuss experiences on project activities, research, and innovative instruments that contribute to responsible mineral supply chains. The event complemented the BMZ High-Level Forum by providing space for a more in-depth discussion.
Different sessions of the side event explored fields of action towards responsible mining for the just transition. From a practical perspective, the event discussed topics like ESG-performance and assessment along supply chains, collaborative action and partnerships, benefit sharing in the mining sector as well as digitalisation and gender equality as cross-cutting themes in the mining sector.
