About the Event
This side event is part of the 2025 meetings of the Conference of the Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam, and Stockholm Conventions. It will focus on the critical role these conventions play in promoting sustainable circular models for mineral and metal resources. The discussions will highlight the environmentally sound management of e-waste and the secondary extraction of valuable materials from waste batteries, emphasizing the need for effective policies and practices in this area.
Importance of Sustainable Mineral Management
The sustainable management of minerals is increasingly recognized as essential for achieving global environmental goals. With a projected 500% increase in demand for minerals, the event will explore how unsustainable practices in extraction and disposal can lead to significant environmental and social impacts. The Geneva Dialogues provide a platform for stakeholders to engage in meaningful discussions about the governance of mineral resources and the interconnections with broader issues such as human rights, trade, and environmental protection.
