dc.descriptionThis presentation outlines the role of an international forum in supporting governments to improve mining governance and explains mine closure as a planned, regulated process aimed at achieving environmentally sound and socially beneficial post-mining land use. It defines closure as a lifecycle responsibility beginning at the environmental and social impact assessment stage and requiring comprehensive planning, cost estimation, and financial assurance. The document presents ten principles covering early planning, environmental stability, community engagement, and financial provisions. It emphasises progressive rehabilitation, stakeholder consultation, and economic transition, supported by case examples and international guidance frameworks directed at both governments and industry to ensure effective implementation.en
