The overarching goal for the roundtable was to identify the next steps and recommendations to address issues and challenges related to legacy mines specifically concerning funding and finance, legislation, partnerships, and knowledge sharing. To address this goal, the Advisory Group developed the following objectives for the roundtable: 1. Develop a shared understanding of the scope and scale of the problem of regenerating legacy sites, paying attention to the differences in approach required for abandoned versus orphaned sites. 2. Develop an understanding of the complexity and urgency of the problem. 3. Explore options that deliver successful post-mining regeneration at legacy sites. 4. Explore how current good practice in mine closure can be used to develop new solutions for legacy sites, with particular attention to improving dissemination to developing countries. 5. Recognize and promote the critical - and often overlooked - importance of community engagement in dealing realistically with mining legacy. 6. Explore options for appropriate on-going dialogue on this issue that ultimately leads to action on the ground."engWith permission of the license/copyright holdernatural resourcesenvironmentsustainable developmenthealthresponsibilityEconomic ethicsEnvironmental ethicsBusiness ethicsResources ethicsConference proceedings
