Description
Organised by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre
Evidence collected by BHRRC over the past decade suggests lack of respect for land rights, disregard for public participation rights and the right of Indigenous Peoples to give or withhold their Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) in transition minerals mining, remain a reality and lead to increasing risk of conflicts - compounded by limited benefit-sharing mechanisms with local communities. The session will start with a presentation of the findings of the 5th edition of the Transition Minerals Tracker by BHRRC, and will be followed by a panel discussion and a Q&A session, exploring risk drivers as well as offer perspectives and reflections from communities and Indigenous Peoples on how the private sector and States can genuinely foster meaningful engagement with local rights holders to achieve shared prosperity and respect for human rights in transition minerals supply chains.
