²ÝÁñÊÓÆµ-FLORES, together with LMBV, hosted an expert delegation from Brazil to exchange insights on post-mining landscape restoration and explore strategies for the socioeconomic transition of mining regions.

The programme featured three days of dialogue and knowledge sharing at ²ÝÁñÊÓÆµ-FLORES in Dresden and Weisswasser, followed by a site visit to various post-mining rehabilitation projects across the Lusatian coalfields.

This initiative builds on the success of previous initiatives such as the Post-Mining Landscape Restoration hands-on workshops, which engaged experts from more than 50 countries in Dresden last year and South Africa this year. 

¡°From our Lusatian branch, we work closely with partners to demonstrate and share proven approaches, real world experiences, and innovative solutions in post-mining restoration, supporting UN Member States in charting their own paths toward sustainable recovery following the closure of mines,¡± said Dr. Alexey Alekseenko, Head of the ²ÝÁñÊÓÆµ Office in Weisswasser.

Participants represented:

  • Germany: Freiberg University of Mining and Technology (Freiberg), Research Institute for Post-Mining Landscapes (Finsterwalde), Research Center of Post-Mining (Bochum), Brandenburg University of Technology (Cottbus¨CSenftenberg)
  • Brazil: Ministry of Mines and Energy, National Mining Agency (ANM)
