Polarisation and post-truth: can diverse groups realistically work together to solve challenges faci

Polarisation and post-truth: can diverse groups realistically work together to solve challenges facing the mining industry?

•   We are currently entering into an unprecedented era in modern times. The mining industry is at the forefront of one of the most significant economic shifts in history, as the world seeks to decarbonise whilst also trying to meet the UN SDGs.
•   New mines will need to be developed in record times if the industry is to meet this demand.
•   Collaboration between governments, the private sector and civil society will be vital if we are to responsibly expedite development and permitting processes while also prioritising social and economic well-being of local communities.
•   In a world fractured by polarisation and post-truth what does the industry need to do to build trust with stakeholders? Is it even possible to build strong partnerships between diverse stakeholder groups if consensus is not always met?
•   Join ICMM CEO Ro Dhawan and NRGI Africa Director Nafi Chinery as they discuss these important questions, and provide their reflections on the steps different stakeholder groups should be taking to solve these common challenges.
