The Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable
Development (IGF) supports its more than 80 member countries in
advancing their sustainable development goals through effective laws,
policies, and regulations for the mining sector. We help governments take
action to develop inclusive and gender-equitable practices, optimize
financial benefits, support livelihoods, and safeguard the environment.
Our work covers the full mining life cycle, from exploration to mine closure,
and projects of all sizes, from artisanal mining to large-scale operations.
Guided by our members’ needs, we provide in-country assessments,
capacity building, technical training, publications, and events to advance
best practices, peer learning, and engagement with industry and civil
society. The International Institute for Sustainable Development has hosted
the IGF Secretariat since October 2015. Core funding is provided by the
governments of Canada and the Netherlands.
