SUMMARY:Webinar on Seafloor Mining: Regulatory Quagmire or Key to Energy Transition?
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, July 9\, at 1:00 PM Eastern\, 5:00 PM UTC \nJoin the Working Group on Extractive Industries for a discussion with Dr. Seaver Wang of the Breakthrough Institute to learn about the history and potential of seafloor mining\, its environmental and regulatory challenges\, and how undersea minerals may affect the energy transition. \nSeaver Wang is the Director of the Climate and Energy program at the Breakthrough Institute. His current research focuses upon minerals and manufacturing supply chains for low-carbon technologies\, decarbonization of heavy industry\, and on climate and energy policy in East Asia. Seaver holds a PhD in Earth and Ocean Sciences from Duke University as well as a BA in Earth Sciences from the University of Pennsylvania and has worked with the Climate and Energy research program since Fall 2019. He is based in Breakthrough’s Washington D.C. office. \nThe Breakthrough Institute is an environmental think tank based in Oakland California advancing technological solutions to environmental and human development challenges. From a pro-growth\, pro-technology\, and pro-development philosophical footing\, Breakthrough aims to advance durable solutions grounded in empirical and cutting-edge research. \nRecent writing by Dr. Wang on governance of seafloor minerals can be found here. \nJoin Webinar

SUMMARY:Joint Annual AFROSAI-E Extractive Industries Workshop & Annual WGEI Steering Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Annual AFROSAI-E Extractive Industries Workshop will be held as a joint event with the Annual WGEI Steering Committee Meeting in Livingstone\, Zambia\, from 15th to 18th July 2025. \nIn response to these emerging issues\, the theme of the 2025 joint initiative is: The Role of SAIs in Future-Proofing Critical Minerals for the Benefit of Citizens. \nThematic discussions during the event will cover the following key topics: \n\nFuture-proofing mining\, for maximising returns from critical and conflict minerals: Ensuring that Africa’s critical and conflict minerals are used to create economic wealth and security for the citizens.\nFuture-proofing mining\, by prioritising peace\, health\, and safety: Ensuring the mining industry is safe and conflict-free for workers and the environment.\nFuture-proofing mining\, by investing in extractive industries infrastructure & technology: Ensuring that nations invest adequately in mining infrastructure and technology for efficient and effective mining projects.\nFuture-proofing mining\, through community participation: Ensuring that mining communities are involved in the energy transition and their voices are heard\n\nWe invite SAIs to nominate relevant delegates to participate in this joint initiative. \nWhen you’ve made your nominations\, participants should click here to register online as soon as possible to secure space for the workshop. \n\nAgenda | AFROSAI-E Extractive Industries Workshop Presentations | WGEI Steering Committee Meeting Presentations
