- Climate change driving more frequent and extreme weather events; water scarcity in some operating areas; increasing public opposition and legal challenges to mining projects; restrictions imposed on marine shipping; prevalence of invasive species; increasing closure costs required to manage for climate change and biodiversity impacts; potential for carbon leakage.
- Potential supply chain disruptions and operational production impacts from climate change; increased competition for high-quality biodiversity offsets; competition for talent and external expert support.
