This symposium will help advance and improve upon the existing impact assessment and management processes and practices currently implemented in the mining sector. The symposium will highlight emerging issues in the sector and will use case studies to identify key challenges and solutions. 

The event will bring together mining companies, regulators, financial institutions, environmental and social consultants, and civil society to discuss critical and emerging issues in the mining sector.  The information, case studies, and lessons learned from this forum will be used by IAIA to prepare a practical guide for conducting impact assessment and management of mining projects.

IAIA18, “Environmental Justice in Societies in Transition,” will be held 16-19 May 2018 in Durban, South Africa. For more information, visit the conference website (http://conferences.iaia.org/2018/index.php)
