The OECD provides an international forum for governments to work together and address common problems. It has established a project focused on mining regions and cities to help address regional development challenges from mining activities. The project aims to develop recommendations and share best practices between regions on issues like productivity, quality of life, and governance. Key activities include case studies of mining regions, workshops, and publications to build knowledge sharing between member countries and mining communities. The goal is to help regions better manage opportunities and impacts from their local mining industries.

Global State of National Urban Policy 2021 - Presentation by Lamia Kamal-ChaouiOECDregions
The Global State of National Urban Policy 2021 report reviews the NUPs of 162 countries across the world. Building on the first edition launched in 2018, the report takes stock and rovides analysis of form, scope, and stage of development of NUP for policymakers and urban professionals. As such, this global monitoring aims to unpack how and in what forms NUPs have been developed, implemented and assessed globally.
The report assists national governments in advancing NUP processes, especially in improving links with Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and the New Urban Agenda, and mainstreaming climate action into NUP. The report is a collaborative project of the OECD, UN-Habitat and Cities Alliance, and an outcome of the National Urban Policy Programme, a global partnership launched in 2016 at the Habitat III Conference.

OECD Launch Toolkit to Measure Well-being in Mining regions - 26 January 2023OECDregions
Andres Sanabria, an Economist and Policy analyst of the Rural Development Unit at the OECD, presented a PowerPoint on the performance of OECD mining regions in different areas of well-being as compared to non-mining regions. The presentation also included a draft paper for publication that analyzed various dimensions of well-being, such as the share of young population, death rates, GHG emissions, and inclusion of women in the workforce. Sanabria discussed the toolkit of mining well-being, which is a web tool of universal access that allows users to compare and monitor well-being (social, economic, and environmental dimensions) across OECD mining regions.
In addition to the toolkit, the presentation highlighted case studies that provide regional-specific recommendations and support for regions and cities to implement better regional development policies. It also mentioned events and peer-review activities that enable knowledge sharing, advocacy, and dialogue between the public and private sectors and local communities on better policies to enhance regional productivity and well-being. The presentation included a timeline of past and future activities of the initiative.
Sanabria noted that the green transition will further increase the global demand for raw materials and that countries are increasingly prioritizing the strategic autonomy on minerals due to their high concentration. The transition also implies structural changes in some mining economies. Mining is concentrated in certain regions, which shapes regional development, and the presentation discussed some of the megatrends impacting mining regions and cities.
The toolkit is intended for governments, academia, the private sector, and communities and promotes knowledge sharing among regions to identify mining regions in OECD countries and understand well-being standards in mining regions. Its goal is to provide a common methodology and understanding of the strengths and challenges of mining regions to monitor their economic, social, and environmental performance.
Presentation delivered by Prof Mike danson to the STUC's Decent Work, Dignified Lives Conference on 15 October. Presentation considers history of regional development institutions, imperatives for change and distinct nature of Scottish institutions.
This presentation by the OECD was made during workshop on responsible business conduct held on 17 September 2015 in Kyiv, Ukraine. This workshop was held to share information with the Ukrainian authorities about the obligations of governments under the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises.

Decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approachOECDregions
OECD presentation on decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approach.
About 90% of homes in the Netherlands depend on natural gas for heating. The Netherlands has made a commitment to phase out natural gas by 2050. To achieve the goal, the Netherlands has rolled out a natural gas-free pilot programme in 66 neighbourhoods. These neighbourhood pilot projects enabled municipalities to learn what it takes to start energy transition. Based on a city survey carried out across 26 local governments, key findings from this report call on national and local governments joining up their efforts to take place-based measures.

2. • The OECD provides an international forum for governments to work together to share
experiences and seek solutions to common problems – it has 36 member countries, and
also works closely with a number of partner, accession and non-member countries
• We also work with representatives of industry and labour through advisory committees,
and are actively engaged with civil society organisations.
• A strength of the OECD is the capacity for governments to learn from each other through
peer review (whereby each country’s policy in a particular area is examined by fellow
members on an equal basis). Our work is supported by data and engagement with
stakeholders.
• The OECD is overseen by various Committees and working parties, which are made up
of delegates from member countries, and non-member countries which are also invited to
participate
• The Regional Development Policy Committee (RDPC) was established in 1999 and
oversees work by the OECD Secretariat in regards to policies related to regions, rural
areas and cities (see - http://www.oecd.org/cfe/regional-policy/regionaldevelopment.htm)

Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD)
3. • Issue that affects virtually all OECD member countries – mining of
minerals and metals, extraction of coal, oil and gas, and downstream
production (investment, production, and decline/ transition)
• Challenges associated with mining and extractive activities are amplified
at the local and regional scale for example conflicts with other land users,
population changes and impacts on housing markets and public services, and
structural adjustment and transition costs
• Policies related to mining tend to be shaped at the national level with a
sectoral focus - trade and fiscal settings, concession and permitting
processes, local content – integration with local and regional development
strategies can be weak
• This centralised approach makes it difficult to manage the territorial
impacts of mining, exacerbates challenges and tensions, and leads to
missed opportunities and benefits – resulting in problems such as
difficulties in securing and sustaining social license to operate
3
Motivation for this work from the OECD Regional
Development Policy Committee (RDPC)
4. Summary of findings:
• Mining is spatially concentrated, often in
low density economies – linkages with local
economies vary considerably
• Strong productivity performance coupled
with volatility in growth, inequalities, and local
dutch disease effects
• Place-based approaches are needed to
address these issues – land use and
housing, supply of local skills and
competencies, and linking local SMEs to
mining value chains
• Importance of multi-level governance -
decentralisation and alignment with revenues
and institutional capacities at a sub-national
level to support integration of mining with
regional development

Mining is a global business and matter of national
interest – but regional and local issues matter

Objectives of the project
1. Develop tool-box with recommendations
and global evidence for regional development in
a mining and extractives industry context for the
mining industry, national and sub-national
governments, and non-government organisations
to cooperate on addressing shared challenges.
2. Produce a series of case studies that deliver
regional specific recommendations and
implementation support, and a tool-kit
(benchmarking and guidance, indicators and
data, and best practices) to support the
implementation of better regional development
policies in a mining and extractives context
across countries
3. Develop a global platform for mining
regions and cities through events and peer-
review that enable knowledge sharing, advocacy
and dialogue between public/private sectors and
local communities on better policies to enhance
regional productivity and wellbeing.
9. Productivity, jobs and economic diversification - Policies that enable the
development of the mining industry, that support productivity and also strengthen
the supply chain linkages around mining activities and support economic
diversification efforts.
Quality of life and wellbeing - Policies that enhance quality of life and address
inclusive growth and well-being challenges that affect regions and cities with a
high degree of dependency on mining and extractive industries.
Sub-national governance and fiscal arrangements - Sub-national governance
and fiscal arrangements that address the complex relationships between national
and sub-national governments, the mining industry and community stakeholders
in relation to issues of economic development and wellbeing.

10. Events and Knowledge Sharing Activities :
• OECD meetings on Mining Regions and their Cities (1 to 2 per year) to discuss
OECD findings, share and identify good practices and promote knowledge-sharing
• Policy Workshops – at existing mining conferences to test analysis and
recommendations, and mobilise private sector input and support.
• OECD missions (as part of regional case studies) with peer reviewers (public and
private representatives from other mining regions and cities), experts to gather data
exchange experiences of best practices involving local stakeholders, experts and peer
reviewers
Case-Studies and Thematic Work:
• Published proceedings from these events that identify good practice actions to
enhance the productivity and wellbeing of mining regions and cities, and priority areas
for future cooperation
• Regional case studies that deliver an in-depth analysis, assessment and
recommendations of a mining region and/or city in a national and global context, and
also provide a mechanism to monitor and support implementation
• Thematic report that will synthesise analysis from across countries and develop a tool-
kit containing guidelines, indicators, and good practices about integrating mining and
extractive industries, and regional development

Editor's Notes
THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION
IMPORTANT FORUM FOR COLLABORATION AND ENGAGEMENT WITH NATIONAL AND EUROPEAN POLICY MAKERS
Spatially concentrated – mining production occurs in certain places. Talk about benefits
Mining is a global business
Regions have to deal with fluctuations related to movements in global demand and commodity markets
Mining is a key part of the tradeable sector and generating multiplier effects at a regional level – both on the upside and downside
Effects are amplified at the regional level due to high levels of specialisation :
Upside – inflation in house prices and overcrowding of public services
Downside – adjustment costs
