Mining and Climate Change: Sustainable Solutions

Mining faces climate change from two sides: emissions to cut, and assets exposed to physical risk. This week covers both. Emissions inventory and abatement across diesel haulage, electricity and process sources, with honest treatment of where the technology is proven and where it is not. Then physical risk, which is the side more often ignored: heat, water availability, storm intensity, and what each does to a pit, a tailings facility and a workforce.

It runs 7 times over the published calendar, in 6 cities and live online. Every date is the same programme with the same content and the same certificate.

• Build an emissions inventory across scopes one, two and three.
• Evaluate abatement options on cost and maturity, not announcement.
• Assess physical climate risk to assets and operations.
• Build adaptation into design and planning decisions.
• Report against a recognised framework without overstating.

Sustainability and environmental managers, energy and asset managers, planners and engineers, and corporate reporting staff.

Short input, then work. Across 5 days of roughly 6 teaching hours each, the balance sits deliberately with the second: a programme where the trainer talks for six hours produces notes rather than capability.

• Your own material

  Exercises run on situations delegates bring, not on a case study written for a different organisation in a different decade.

• A capped cohort

  Small enough that everybody is asked something. Executive programmes are capped tighter still.

• Practice under scrutiny

  The difficult conversation, the challenged assumption, the decision defended out loud. Judgement is not built by watching.

• Something to take back

  Each day ends with a thing you can use on Monday rather than a slide deck you will not reopen.

• An emissions inventory for one operation.
• A marginal abatement cost comparison.
• A physical risk assessment with adaptation actions.

A GATI certificate recording what you attended, issued after the programme has run and attendance has been taken. Attending at least 80 per cent of the days earns a certificate of completion; attending less earns a certificate of attendance stating exactly what was attended.

Every certificate carries a code that anybody can check against GATI's own record, which is what makes it worth holding. It records participation. This site will not imply one it does not have.
