EIA : MINING PROJECTS


The minerals sector is a key driver for the country’s industrial growth. However, it has brought in its wake severe environmental repercussions and social unrest. One of the greatest challenges, therefore, is how to make mining environmentally and socially acceptable.

Unfortunately, most EIA reports either overlook or poorly interpret the critical issues related to a mining project. There is an urgent need to strengthen capacity of regulators, NGOs, environmental consultants and industries towards understanding and mitigating the impacts of a mining project.

Centre for Science and Environment brings you a handson five-day training programme aimed at giving practical exposure to participants on all aspects related to assessment, interpretation and management of a mining project. The programme will cover:
