On 3 June 2022 (17:15-18:30 CEST), UNEP and PRI hosted a UN-PAGE official side event at Stockholm+50: A 2030 Vision for a responsible and sustainable minerals and metals sector in Stockholm, Sweden.
The event focuses on solutions for the environmental and social challenges in the mining sector and how to build back better from the COVID-19 pandemic. It will discuss how all stakeholders are key in raising the level of ambition of the mining sector to achieve sustainable outcomes while leveraging increasing automation and digitization.
The event will constitute the first roundtable discussion on key elements that are necessary for a vision on sustainable and responsible mining. Outcomes of the discussion will feed into UNEP’s publication on Guiding Principles for a Responsible and Sustainable Minerals and Metals Sector as well as the Investors Mining 2030 vision. The event will also announce recent developments in relation to the process to establish the Global Tailings Management Institute.
