Abstract
Driving Sustainable Mineral Supply Chains in Asia: Practical Pathways for Decarbonisation, Ecosystem Resilience & Legal Compliance
The surge in demand for critical minerals?essential for Asia?s clean energy transition?has led to intensified mining activities across the region, challenging operators to balance economic growth with urgent sustainability and legal obligations. This session will examine solutions that mining operations are adopting to cut emissions, including solar, wind, and biofuel integration (non-exhaustive).
Special attention will be given to regulatory and legal frameworks shaping industry practice, from emerging ESG standards and responsible stewardship principles to local laws governing biodiversity, indigenous land rights and participatory community engagement. The session highlights how mining decisions and emission-reduction strategies can be aligned with biodiversity and ecosystem resilience goals?addressing both risks and opportunities for sustainable outcomes.
