Shifting from Closure to Transition (Peter Whitbread-Abrutat, PhD)
In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Peter Whitbread-Abrutat, an environmental and mine closure specialist with over 25 years of diverse experience in natural resources management and sustainable development. As CEO of Future Terrains (a UK-based social enterprise), Pete chats with us about the importance of building ecological integrity and enhancing community wellbeing in post-mining areas. We discuss the difference between “mine closure” and “mine transition”, and why a move to the latter is imperative. Pete explains his holistic approach to mining, defining a mine as simply a piece in a larger jigsaw of economic, social, environmental, and political factors. His call to action is to make this mindset shift common practice, and include a far broader range of stakeholders in the mine transition process, in order to craft sustainble post-mining future terrains the world over!
