Green Economy

The Challenge

Integrating climate risk, biodiversity, and nature-based considerations into mining operations is an emerging global priority. For companies in the extractive sector, adapting to climate change while ensuring a ‘Just Transition’ and minimising negative impacts on communities and ecosystems, remains complex and critical. 

Our Approach

We developed and implemented a Biodiversity Strategy and Offset Management Plan in one of Ghana’s key forest reserves. Our work included coordinating independent biodiversity audits and engaging relevant regulatory stakeholders.  

​

The Solution

We advanced biodiversity offset strategies aligned with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and Ghana’s Forestry Commission requirements.

Outcomes

A 10 year costed Biodiversity Offset Management Plan (BOMP) was submitted and 

approved by the Ghana Forestry Commission. 

Implementation of the BOMP involved 60 hectares of enrichment planting was 

undertaken within a Forest Reserve in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
