2000 - 2002
I managed a team of authors and researchers, and ran stakeholder consultations in the former Soviet Union, to produce the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development (MMSD) report. MMSD was an $8million, two-year global project of participatory analysis seeking to understand how the mining and minerals sector can contribute to the transition to sustainable development. It culminated in a highly successful report, presented to the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, 2002.
