Over the course of two days, we will focus on two key objectives:
- an in-depth analysis of the socio-environmental conflicts and governance challenges that arise as a result of the extractive industries; and
- the production of a series of policy recommendations to address these conflicts and challenges. We are bringing together world-renowned academic experts like you to explore Indigenous and human rights as they relate to extractive projects. The conference/workshop will consist of three panels, three round table sessions, and a final two-part policy meeting.
