The disclosure of socio-environmental information regarding oil, gas and mining activities is key to inform the public debate and decision-making on sectoral policies. The demand for such disclosures is increasingly strong in different regions of the world, especially in Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Several countries of these regions are involved in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and many civil society groups are advocating for the inclusion of a specific commitment related to socio-environmental information in the EITI standard. The Open Government Partnership (OGP) also offers an opportunity for governments and civil society to mitigate negative impacts associated with the establishment and operation of oil, gas, and mining projects by making commitments on the proactive disclosure of social and environmental information related to the extractive industry.

The webinar is aimed at stakeholders, including representatives from government, civil society, and the private sector, who work on, or are interested in transparency around socio-environmental information related to the oil, gas and mining sector. It will include a discussion on current trends, opportunities, and challenges regarding socio-environmental transparency and whether/how EITI can be a tool to disclose such information. The presentations will be followed by an interactive Q&A session with audience members.

When: Wednesday, June 14, 2017 11 AM – 12 PM Eastern Standard Time
