Natural capital includes all the living and non-living resources essential for human wellbeing and economic development. Natural capital accounting helps companies measure and value the environmental goods and services from the lands they steward. ICMM members are taking urgent action to support a nature-positive future [https://lnkd.in/d9kkA_kp]. Demonstrating progress on nature is vital for our industry's licence to operate. Natural capital accounting allows organisations to track their environmental restoration or rehabilitation obligations and monitor their progress towards broader nature-positive commitments. We welcome the suite of natural capital accounting tools tailored for the resources sector, developed by CSIRO and CRC TiME.

some great work coming out of CRC TiME, congratulations Guy Boggs and team, let's hope mining industry, government and traditional owners start incorporating these NCA, SEEA and SNA frameworks so we have a common basis to measure, understand and respond to mining industry impacts and dependencies on natural capital and ecosystem services. an important tool to learn more about.

This week at #AMERoundup2024 Great to hear from Gord Clarke on recent mining activity in the BC region. So far it's been a great morning running into industry friends! Will be here all week, drop me a message to say hi 👋 ESdat Environmental Data Management Software EScIS (EarthScience Information Systems) AME - Association for Mineral Exploration #esdat #datamanagement #regulatorycompliance #miningsolutions

Mark your calendars for May 21-22, Join Fred Arendse, President and Founder of JMC, on May 21st for Session Four at the Junior Indaba, where we'll tackle crucial questions shaping the future of mining: - How can junior miners navigate ESG requirements, community, and climate change concerns? - What strategies are juniors employing to address the ever-growing list of ESG issues? - What are the cost implications of ESG compliance and its impact on financial viability? - How are juniors transitioning to greener energy solutions to decarbonize operations? - What efforts are being made to sustain value beyond the life of mine and engage communities in co-developing solutions? - How are juniors sourcing equipment, suppliers, and services locally to uplift the community? - To what extent are juniors leveraging data and technology to reduce costs, boost productivity, enhance safety, and bridge the mining skills gap? Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and join the conversation shaping the future of mining. See you at Session Four!

“Despite the concept of Natural Capital Accounting having been around for many years, there has been a marked increase and interest in its application in the last five years, particularly in the private sector. There are many drivers for this, but at its core it has been driven by a need to transition to a more sustainable economy and growing calls for greater transparency and disclosure of environmental impacts and dependencies. We are pleased to launch the WABSI report ‘Lessons, Gaps and Recommendations: Natural capital accounting in the mining sector’. This publication is a great resource; prepared as part of the project’s Technical Advisory Group, it identifies what we learned on one mine site, and how that knowledge could be applied on other sites to better understand environmental inputs into the economy. The report contains a set of important recommendations that can be adopted by other mining organisations. WABSI’s unique collaboration enables us to make knowledge easily accessible and we continue to work with industry, our research partners and with CRC TiME to enable the application of this new knowledge. We seek to enable better practice so that collectively, we can achieve better outcomes for the environment.” Professor Owen Nevin, CEO, WABSI https://lnkd.in/ePbkDKAB

By some estimates, the Inflation Reduction Act could unlock more than $1 trillion in federal incentives. In an effort to give a clearer sense of the on-the-ground impact of the law, MIT Technology Review zeroed in on a single project: a nickel mining proposal in the Midwest. In these exclusive stories, we explore how the potential mine is forcing the region’s residents to make the impossible choice between achieving climate goals and preventing environmental dangers, and how the project could unlock up to $26 billion of those incentives.
