Mining and Climate Governance
While the growing demand for minerals and metals provide economic opportunities for Nova Scotia, companies must be aware of and respond to the significant changes emerging in the climate-driven clean energy transition in Canada. Three major shifts are occurring: increasingly adverse weather conditions putting mining assets at risk, shifting demand for key minerals as a result of decarbonization, and increasing pressure for miners to decarbonize their own operations. The Canada Climate Law Initiative presents this webinar to help mining leadership understand their legal duties, the latest reporting and regulations, and tools that executives can use to create an actionable strategy.
The speakers are Sara Seck, Associate Professor, Dalhousie University and Suzanne Davis-Hall, Co-Founder and Director, GenESG.
