Mining Industry Experts Gather to Help Set the State of Sustainable Development

The Regeneration Roadmap recently co-hosted an event with the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM). The discussion was chaired by SustainAbility’s Rob Cameron and accompanied by esteemed panellists Anthony Hodge, president of ICMM and Tom Burke, Chief Environmental Policy Advisor at Rio Tinto. This was an opportunity for key figures in the mining industry and in the field of sustainable development more broadly to react to some of the findings of The Regeneration Roadmap. While the Salon ostensibly had a mining focus the issues discussed went beyond narrow industry-specifics, encompassing some of the more macro challenges faced by all industries in confronting issues of climate change, development and social well-being.

The discussion was opened with an introduction to The Regeneration Roadmap and some of its insights. Chris Coulter, GlobeScan President, shared the latest quantitative expert and global public opinion findings to help set the state of sustainable development.
