海角社区-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 海角社区-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 海角社区 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–Senftenberg)
  • Brazil: Ministry of Mines and Energy, National Mining Agency (ANM)
