The Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF) supports governments to advance good mining governance for the betterment of communities, economies, and the environment.
We help governments around the globe further gender equality, support livelihoods, manage ecosystems, and optimize social and financial benefits in large and small-scale mining operations.
Trust in an Interdependent World: Advancing inclusion and resilience in mineral value chains
The Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF) is pleased to announce that its 22nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) will take place October 12–14, 2026, at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, hosted by UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD). This year’s theme is Trust in an Interdependent World: Advancing inclusion and resilience in mineral value chains.
As the leading international mining policy forum, the AGM provides a unique opportunity for policy-makers to connect with their global peers alongside actors from industry, civil society, and non-governmental and international organizations.
The AGM will include expert-led sessions that examine important aspects of mining governance, including critical minerals, legal frameworks, social inclusion, benefits sharing, mineral exploration, environmental management, sustainability standards, artisanal and small-scale mining, and more.
The IGF Annual General Meeting (AGM) is organized by the IGF Secretariat and hosted by UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) every year in Geneva. This forum brings together governments, industry, civil society, non-governmental, and international organizations to discuss sustainable development in the mining sector.
