About us
The Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF) supports its more than 80 member countries in advancing their sustainable development goals through effective laws, policies, and regulations for the mining sector. We help governments take action to develop inclusive and gender-equitable practices, optimize financial benefits, support livelihoods, and safeguard the environment. Our work covers the full mining life cycle, from exploration to mine closure, and projects of all sizes, from artisanal mining to large-scale operations. Guided by our members’ needs, we provide in-country assessments, capacity building, technical training, publications, and events to advance best practices, peer learning, and engagement with industry and civil society. The International Institute for Sustainable Development has hosted the IGF Secretariat since October 2015. Core funding is provided by the governments of Canada and the Netherlands.

We have rescheduled this webinar from October 9 to October 23 due to a technical difficulty. Please register again if you had planned to join at the earlier date. I am looking forward to it. This webinar is a good way to follow up on discussions held at #climateweek with colleagues from the Natural Resource Governance Institute, Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment and Oxfam International, and some of the themes of our conference with the Inter-American Development Bank on the Future of Resource Taxation last week.
WEBINAR | How should governments determine which minerals are critical? The answer varies based on a country’s specific context and priorities. Join us on October 23 (📅 rescheduled) for a webinar that will explore how governments can better understand the concept of criticality and assess related opportunities and risks. We’ll also provide guidance for countries aiming to maximize financial benefits from their critical minerals.

¿Cómo puede la #tributación de los recursos mineros apoyar el desarrollo sostenible en #AméricaLatina y el #Caribe? Esta es una de las tantas preguntas fundamentales que abordamos durante la Conferencia sobre el Futuro de la Tributación de los Recursos Naturales en ALC, la cual coorganizamos con el Inter-American Development Bank del 30 de septiembre al 2 de octubre en Lima, Perú. Analizamos cómo las #PolíticasFiscales pueden optimizar la recaudación tributaria y mejorar el reparto de beneficios provenientes de la #minería, al tiempo de garantizar una extracción responsable de minerales y una inversión sostenible. Junto con expertos del gobierno, la industria y la sociedad civil, discutimos una amplia gama de temas, incluyendo: 🔸Nuevos desafíos y oportunidades emanados de los minerales críticos para los países productores durante la transición energética 🔸Modelos de reparto de los beneficios financieros provenientes de los minerales críticos 🔸Desafíos actuales relacionados con la recaudación de ingresos mineros: ¿Dónde se producen las fugas? 🔸Impacto de los incentivos fiscales para la inversión en actividades mineras 🔸Integración de la tributación de la minería en el marco de estrategias más amplias de desarrollo sostenible incluyendo la disminución de impactos ambientales y sociales de la minería Fue un placer interactuar con tomadores de decisión y líderes de diversos sectores de toda la región incluyendo nuestros partners el Centro Interamericano de Administraciones Tributarias - CIAT, MinSus, OECD Tax, Oxfam America, International Energy Agency (IEA), UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Natural Resource Governance Institute. ¡Hasta pronto Lima! #TributaciónMinera #TransiciónEnergética #MineralesCríticos #PolíticaFiscal #GestiónFiscal #DesarrolloSostenible #ResourceTaxationLAC IGFMining

Thanks a lot IGFMining for the invitation to participate in the panel on revenue distribution in #Peru and to moderate the panel on #ESG and taxation. 3 intense days filled with reflection and new ideas of how to improve tax collection from the mining sector and spend revenues efficiently to foster sustainable economic development. Keep up the excellent work and at MinSus we look forward to continue our collaboration in #LAC on these important issues. #responsiblemining #energytransition
🎉 That's a wrap on the "Future of Resource Taxation in #LAC" Conference! As the #energytransition accelerates, the demand for critical minerals like copper, lithium, and nickel is on the rise—key components for advancing green technologies. To harness this mineral wealth, effective taxation and fiscal policies are essential for Latin America and the Caribbean, ensuring that these resources contribute to public revenue, economic growth, and sustainable development. Last Wednesday, we wrapped up a three-day event at the #ResourceTaxationLAC Conference, organized by IGFMining and the Inter-American Development Bank, where decision-makers and thought leaders gathered to discuss innovative fiscal strategies for the mining sector amid the global energy shift. We were privileged to hear from finance ministers, tax administrations, mining ministries, and thought leaders from across the region and other parts of the world, sharing diverse insights and experiences. Thank you to everyone who participated and engaged with the event. Your contributions have greatly enriched our discussions on mining tax policy and its potential to drive sustainable development in the region. 💡Let’s continue the conversation! #CriticalMinerals #TaxPolicy

Thank you to all speakers and attendees taking part in Day 2 of the Conference on the Future of Resource Taxation in #LAC! Together with officials from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Suriname, we explored fiscal policies that can ensure countries fully benefit from their mining activities. Panels included experts from the OECD Tax, MINETAX, the Inter-American Development Bank, and IGFMining who discussed financial benefit sharing in the mining sector, mineral pricing, the use of fiscal incentives to encourage mining investments, and the challenges presented by the #globalminimumtax How can countries ensure a fair distribution of revenues between regional and central governments? How can mining serve broader sustainable development goals? How can international cooperation and collaboration among countries promote fairer global tax rules? The third and final day of the conference has now started, prompting discussions on these crucial questions. #ResourceTaxationLAC #TaxPolicy #CriticalMinerals
