Justification - Themes Selected Through a fully participative process carried out via brainstorming session and several meetings of the Organizing Committee, the following themes were prioritized for this Environmental Sustainability Forum. Its important to underline that these themes of interest are not the only ones of interest to the PA countries but rather represent the current and future priorities of the governments of the PA countries, as identified by the Organizing Committee (whilst avoiding duplication of other themes addressed in the previous 3 PA-EFE thematic forums). The sub-themes of interest have been grouped underneath three larger themes, that will be addressed in three panels, and which are presented directly below in a summarized manner:
A. Actions for Reducing Environmental Impact A1 Sustainable Management of Plastics: Regulation, Best Practices and Public Policies
A2 Climate risk management as an opportunity for contributing to sustainability and competitiveness in the corporate sector
A3 Definition and respect for rural property rights and proper management of water resources for the extractive sector
A4 Planning for investments and activities for the reduction of ecological footprint
B. Development of Human Capital with an Environmental Perspective B1 Social and globalized perspective on environmental education: ethical transformation and new challenges
B2 Contributions to the design of environmental public policies
B3 Sustainable Management of Plastics: Education, Information, and Citizen Transformation
C. Consultative Processes and Recognition Systems for Good Management C1 Methodology for obtaining green certifications in the extractive sector and/or TVET
C2 Certification and measures for workplace health and protection
C3 Sustainable Management of Plastics in the Extractive Sector: Circular Economy
The subthemes emerged and were identified from the ideas and respective justifications that the Organizing Committee Members proposed, which are explained in detail here below.
The Pacific Alliance program for sustainable development and skills for employment in the extractive sector Intersectorial Forum on Environmental Sustainability in the Extractive Sector: Best Practices and Policies in the Pacific Alliance and Canada.
