Session Details
Mining companies operating in water-scarce regions face increasing expectations to strengthen climate resilience, protect biodiversity and build meaningful partnerships with local communities.
This session explores lessons from PRO-ABC, a collaborative sustainability initiative developed by Orla Mining (now Equinox Gold), Organización Vida Silvestre (OVIS) and the Ejidos of San Tiburcio and La Pardita in Zacatecas, Mexico.
Through Nature-Based Solutions (NbS), a science-based and community-centred approach, the project demonstrates how collaborative governance can deliver measurable environmental and social outcomes while supporting responsible mining.
Speakers representing industry, technical experts and local communities will share practical experiences, implementation challenges and lessons that can be replicated across the mining sector.
