Securing Critical Minerals: How to Access Land and Manage Displacement Impacts

The energy transition is driving huge growth in the demand for critical minerals
Meeting this demand will require mining companies to access large areas of new land, which will likely result in a significant increase in the number of displaced communities and people
To manage these displacement impacts, mining companies will need to undertake the resulting resettlement and livelihood restoration activities as quickly and efficiently as possible
This session discusses the critical strategic and tactical steps mining companies can and should take to secure access to land and manage related displacement impacts on time and in budget.
