SUMMARY:SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS  Climate change and the ESG agenda in Africa
  from a people\, business and legal perspective
DESCRIPTION:SustainabilityFocusRuleOfLawThis session will consider what t
 he world could (and should) learn from Africa when it comes to the regul
 ation and implementation of sustainable development practices. Among oth
 er things\, the panellists will reflect on the role that Africa's minera
 ls resources will play in the green energy transition\, the management o
 f relationships with local and indigenous communities\, governance and t
 he consequences where the rule of law is disregarded\, and finally\, the
  need for collective action. By drawing on specific examples\, the panel
 lists will identify the legal mechanisms which governments\, development
  finance institutions\, civil society organisations\, and the private se
 ctor have used to establish and promote sustainable practices. They will
  also consider instances where things went wrong and explore measures wh
 ich should be put in place to prevent similar events from recurring.\n\n
 SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS sessions marked as such are part of the IBA Annual 
 Conference 2022 sustainability focus on Tuesday and Thursday\, grouping 
 sessions discussing different aspects of ESG and sustainability across t
 he different legal fields.\n
