SUMMARY:Public and indigenous consultation processes and consent in large
  infrastructure and critical minerals projects - current trends
DESCRIPTION:Across jurisdictions\, there’s an observable trend towards ac
 celerated environmental approvals for large infrastructure projects\, at
  times recategorised as strategic projects of national security priority
 \, such as with critical minerals projects. What will this entail for th
 e standard public consultation processes and general stakeholder engagem
 ent? Many jurisdictions have ample experience with such public consultat
 ion processes\, whether in the context of mining or nuclear projects\, f
 or example. What are the lessons learned? This session will critically e
 valuate the latest trends across jurisdictions with environmental permit
 ting procedures\, its implications from a social licence to operate pers
 pective\, good governance and best practices and ultimately from a susta
 inable development point of view\, which requires balancing business\, s
 ocial and environmental concerns.\n
