SUMMARY:IBA Showcase: bridging diverse interests in the extractive indust
 ries
DESCRIPTION:DiversityInclusionThe expectation for equitable\, socially in
 clusive\, and environmentally sustainable practices and behaviour from e
 xtractive industries investors has never been greater. It is a challengi
 ng context for investors and industry players to achieve the right balan
 cing act to meet these expectations\, while continuing to conduct essent
 ial operations and develop projects that are necessary to meet global de
 mand in the oil and gas and mining sectors.A lack of understanding about
  the benefits deriving from and necessity for continued investments in t
 he extractive industries seems to permeate the dialogue around the extra
 ctive industries in many societies. Nonetheless\, we still see many dive
 rse approaches from investors\, governments and communities across diffe
 rent parts of the world when it comes to investment in extractive indust
 ries\, project development and community relations.\n\nThis session will
  attempt to discuss what is working in different parts of the globe\, re
 viewing successful and not-so-successful experiences and how these pract
 ical examples can help guide the evolution of the extractive industries 
 in the future.\n\nIn this context\, this showcase panel will:\n\n\n	addr
 ess the viability of adopting some form of general standards for the ext
 ractive industries\, seeking to offer a toolkit to balance the interests
  of extractive industry investors and companies\, the development goals 
 and rights of affected communities and global sustainability and environ
 mental objectives\;\n	present speakers from different backgrounds who wi
 ll debate key topics\, including among other matters\, free and prior in
 formed consent\, types of regulatory regimes\, impacts on affected commu
 nities\, human rights\, economic participation and benefits sharing\, fi
 scal stability and dispute resolution\; and\n	highlight the important ro
 le of the legal community to collaborate in these efforts and help bridg
 e the diverse interests of different stakeholders involved in and affect
 ed by the extractive industries.\n\n
