The development of structuring projects requires a shared vision of the territory—one in which all stakeholders, including communities, promoters, and government bodies, play active and complementary roles. Upstream of any project, what levers can be activated to better anticipate, coordinate, and align actions?

This session will explore how to foster the harmonious integration of mining projects by emphasizing strategic territorial planning, clearly defining and sharing expectations, and creating structured coordination between all involved parties. When each actor’s objectives are well-defined and transparent, mutual understanding improves, predictability increases, and decision-making capacities are strengthened.

An invitation to collectively reflect on promising practices for mining development grounded in territorial realities.
