This session will present policies to balance environmental protection with economic development in mineral value chains beyond mining. As countries promote domestic processing and manufacturing, strong environmental oversight is essential to ensure that value addition does not come at the cost of the environment. Speakers will share policy tools and case studies that align value addition with environmental sustainability.
