Edumine training 18-20 Feb 2014 - Environmental & Social Conflict Resolution
14 January 2014
live webcast format - global, Other Countries
This three-part course (live webcast format) draws on multi-faceted research at the Centre
for Social Responsibility in Mining CSRM to
provide:
an understanding of the costs of conflict in the resource industry;
processes and mechanisms by which communities can make their
concerns heard and which companies can draw on to work with communities
to negotiate and resolve conflict; and
the causes and consequences of environmental conflicts in the
research sector, and the process of using ecological factors to promote
peace.
The extractive industry has the potential to significantly transform
environments, communities and economies. At times, such transformation
may manifest in conflicts or disputes between a resource developer and
local communities, or even complete breakdown of the company's social
licence to operate—with associated costs for the company, local
communities, and the broader public.
Training by CSRM director Professor
Saleem Ali and deputy directors Dr. Deanna Kemp and Dr. Daniel Franks
