Of course, the photo of me from the recent AusIMM #CriticalMinerals Conference in Brisbane has me holding a glass of wine 🍷😐. That said, over the last couple of weeks I have reflected on the conference, what I heard, and the conversations I had with new and old colleagues and friends. A couple of things: 1) There is nervousness across the industry about policy stability and decision-making and the impact on investment flowing here under current settings. 2) Over the last 3 or so years the actions the industry wants to take have accelerated and regulation is simply not keeping pace with the resource sector now, let alone the future. 3) Purposeful and innovative partnerships and collaboration will be critical if we want the sector to continue to thrive and weather the markets, as well as change broadly. I'd be super interested in your thoughts.

Great to see this summary of the incredible #MonacoBlueInitiative out now, documenting the discussions for advancing ocean conservation and sustainability. Glad to see the statement of the question that is driving me forwards right now (page 14 ...) On "... the question of how to balance time-sensitive political windows of opportunity for expanding MPAs with the deep engagement required to build trust among stakeholders and local communities. David Obura suggests the onus shouldn't be on the people being asked to give their trust, but on those seeking it. He calls for co-development of solutions, incorporating values and perspectives from different countries and cultures that prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term profit. Extraction and exploitation over centuries have converted natural capital into financial capital concentrated in fewer and fewer pockets and countries, Dr Obura says. **The question is how to transfer this (financial capital) back into natural capital under local stewardship, rather than today's top-down model of control by outside funders**." Transforming financial capital BACK INTO natural capital ... how do we go about making this a core part of markets moving forwards, not a resisted extra? https://lnkd.in/d3e7zjPm
