This year's theme is Modern Mining Law and Policy: Accountable, Equitable and Innovative Approaches. However, we will also cover a wide range of other topics, including: tax base erosion and profit shifting; local content policies; gender toolkits and assessments; best practices in environmental and social impact assessments and permitting for large-scale mining; and strategic environmental assessments for artisanal and small-scale mining.
