Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires financing from all available sources. Resource-rich countries have an opportunity to raise significant public finances to support the SDGs from resource extraction. However, in some of these countries, the fiscal regime, governance structures and capacities affect the scale and use of revenues from the sector.
This workshop will explore how to raise and use revenues from the extractives sector to support the SDGs, while reducing some of the negative environmental and social impacts. It will bring together representatives from governments, international and regional organizations, industry, civil society and other experts, to discuss and share experiences with fiscal frameworks applied in the extractives sector and how these can be reformed to better support sustainable development.
This workshop is organized by the Green Fiscal Policy Network - a joint partnership between UN Environment (UNEP), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the German Development Cooperation Agency (GIZ) – in collaboration with the UNDPUNEP Poverty Environment Initiative Asia-Pacific. The Network and this workshop are supported by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB).
The workshop is free to attend. Pre-registration is required. To register and for any questions contact: [email protected]
