Well that was a enjoyable panel!!! 🤩 I actually loved this one- Diana E. Páez put collectively a terrific group. In the tip, I feel the core query we drilled down on was: “how can local communities capture value from the extraction of mineral resources that sit under their lands?” Some factors beneath, and an enormous because of Brandon Marc Finn, Gerald Arhin and Jing Tang for his or her clever insights!!

🛠️Big image: advantages of mining are international, however hurt is native. How will we repair that dichotomy?

⚒️Generally native communities aren’t those accountable for extraction, mining corporations have the facility and skill to seize the worth; what’s left for communities?

🛠️Artisinal and small scale mining brings some energy again to the local people, however low effectivity and scale, and lack of environmental and labor protections typically ends in low rents and general poor outcomes.

🛠️Poor governance and lack of technical capability in authorities companies in mineral wealthy international locations can result in suboptimal useful resource administration; in a world of latest and progressive extraction applied sciences, this may go away communities with decreased water entry.

🛠️New waste extraction tech may pave the way in which to decreased main extraction, serving to cut back the dichotomy, but boundaries to scale stay.

🛠️Geopolitics has us centered on zero-sum outcomes reasonably than asking crucial query: can we work collectively to search out the optimum path to a clear and simply transition?
