This session explores innovative strategies for making resource exploitation more sustainable, incorporating three key elements:

  • The circular economy: Maximizing the reuse of materials, reducing waste and optimizing resource efficiency.
  • Adapting to northern and arctic environments: Developing practices that respect sensitive ecosystems and responding to extreme climatic challenges.
  • Reducing the carbon footprint: Implementing solutions to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality.

This topic addresses crucial issues for the future of the sector, while promoting an integrated approach to sustainable development.
