CIFAL International Webinar The Politics of Power | Abandoned Infrastructure
What happens when the boom is over?
The impacts of resource extraction don't end when mines close or resources run out. From abandoned infrastructure to lasting social, economic and environmental challenges, communities around the world continue to navigate the legacy of resource development long after operations cease.
Join us for The Long Goodbye, the fourth webinar in The Politics of Power series, at 6:00pm (AEST) on Friday, 28 August.
Hosted by Dr Brodie Beales, Director of CIFAL Newcastle at the University of Newcastle, this engaging discussion will bring together experts from Australia, Nigeria and Surrey to explore how resource extraction continues to shape people, places and futures long after the boom has ended.
Whether you're studying sustainability, politics, environmental science, development, economics or simply interested in global challenges, this webinar offers valuable insights from both local and international perspectives.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear from leading experts and join the conversation.
