Thu, April 13, 2017 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM LIU INSTITUTE FOR GLOBAL ISSUES. Join us for a talk in the Liu Institute Caseroom on mining development and environmental rehabilitation challenges, Mongolia’s case, with Bolormaa Purevjav, a Chair at the Centre for Stakeholder Engagement and Sustainable Development, a national NGO in Mongolia, and a CIRDI fellow. This event is part of the ongoing Policy@UBC series and CIRDI seminar series.
Despite various issues, Mongolia is emerging as a strong mining country. Implementation of integrated water management plans remains a challenge and an important action item, where promoting good environmental rehabilitation practices by mining companies and by emerging ASM communities plays an important role. Learn from Bolormaa, who has over 15 years of experience in the international development field and possesses expertise around stakeholder engagement in the extractive industry and community development and empowerment.
