IGF 21st Annual General Meeting

(Open with a UN pass)

The Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development, hosted by IISD, will hold its 21st Annual General Meeting (AGM) on November 3-5 at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, hosted by UN Trade and Development. This year’s theme is Value Beyond Extraction: Rethinking Mining for a Resilient Future.

As the leading international mining policy forum, the AGM provides a unique opportunity for policy-makers to connect with their global peers alongside actors from industry, civil society, and non-governmental and international organizations. The proceedings will focus on reimaging how mineral wealth can support diversified, resilient, and sustainable economies. Delegates will advance discussions on the future of mining and the need to ensure that mineral value addition brings broad economic, social, and environmental benefits to resource-rich countries.
