The 2026 Mining and Sustainability Forum of the Americas is set to take place at ECLAC in Vitacura, Santiago, Chile, on August 26, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM local time. The forum's theme, "Mining for Development: Value addition and industrial transformation in Latin America and the Caribbean," highlights the region's critical role in the global supply of essential minerals such as copper, lithium, and nickel. Despite its rich resources, many countries face challenges in maximizing the economic and social benefits from mining activities due to limited refining capacities and high logistics costs. The forum aims to address these issues by promoting integrated value chains and sustainable development practices. Attendees can expect a series of sessions focusing on energy, logistics, and supplier development, along with opportunities for networking and discussion.
