He talks about some of their recently released reports that cover the following important topics: Building climate capability for a resilient mining sector - How leaders can prepare for tomorrow’s challenges The net-zero workforce Mining & Metals The future of work in mining - What will jobs look like in intelligent mining operations?   KEY TAKEAWAYS Each jurisdiction is at different stages of the decarbonisation journey and has different approaches. Foreseeing and preparing for the operational implications of climate change e.g., a higher risk of flooding, is another part of climate change resilience. To build climate change resilience companies need to look at the long term as well as the immediate risks Everyone in the organisation needs to take the climate challenge seriously. Some projects will lend themselves to a sustainable approach. Others will not make sense economically. Technology is going to help with energy efficiency. AI analytics will help to meet the climate challenge by targeting mining efforts more effectively. To be attractive to investors you have to have good green credentials. Digitization, automation, decarbonisation, and faster innovation are all going to create new types of roles and skill demands. Having a diverse, talented workforce has a huge impact on a firm´s ability to meet its ESG and climate change goals. Companies will have to look beyond traditional talent pools to create the workforce they need.
