Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their emergence in the mid-1970s, Impact and Benefit Agreements (IBAs) have come to play an increasingly prominent role in facilitating mine developments in Canada. IBAs are private, negotiated contracts between Aboriginal communities and mine proponents pursuing projects within the communities' traditional territories. For Aboriginal communities, IBAs serve to mitigate unwanted impacts and ensure the capture of benefits from local resource development projects. For proponents, these agreements help to secure the cooperation and support of local communities, and reduce the uncertainty associated with their projects. IBAs are also increasingly revealing their potential as tools for sustainable community development. A discussion centred on the role of IBAs in contemporary resource developments is especially timely given the evolving legal landscape surrounding Aboriginal rights and title, and the Crown's duty to consult and accommodate as manifest in the recent Tsilhqot'in case in British Columbia.

[...] Traditionally, an Impact and Benefit Agreement (IBA) is a formal contract outlining the impacts of a project, the commitment and responsibilities of both parties, and how the associated community (usually Aboriginal) will share in benefits of the operation through employment and economic development.3.

Download or read book Indigenous Industry Agreements Natural Resources and the Law written by Ibironke T. Odumosu-Ayanu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-27 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection is an interdisciplinary and international collaborative book that critically investigates the growing phenomenon of Indigenous-industry agreements – agreements that are formed between Indigenous peoples and companies involved in the extractive natural resource industry. These agreements are growing in number and relevance, but there has yet to be a systematic study of their formation and implementation. This groundbreaking collection is situated within frameworks that critically analyze and navigate relationships between Indigenous peoples and the extraction of natural resources. These relationships generate important questions in the context of Indigenous-industry agreements in diverse resource-rich countries including Australia and Canada, and regions such as Africa and Latin America. Beyond domestic legal and political contexts, the collection also interprets, navigates, and deploys international instruments such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in order to fully comprehend the diverse expressions of Indigenous-industry agreements. Indigenous-Industry Agreements, Natural Resources and the Law presents chapters that comprehensively review agreements between Indigenous peoples and extractive companies. It situates these agreements within the broader framework of domestic and international law and politics, which define and are defined by the relationships between Indigenous peoples, extractive companies, governments, and other actors. The book presents the latest state of knowledge and insights on the subject and will be of value to researchers, academics, practitioners, Indigenous communities, policymakers, and students interested in extractive industries, public international law, Indigenous rights, contracts, natural resources law, and environmental law.

Download or read book Developing an Ideal Mining Agenda written by Peter Siebenmorgen and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mineral extraction in northern Canada has historically given little regard to the negative impacts experienced by local Aboriginal communities. In recent years, however, the emergence of Impact and Benefit Agreements (IBAs) negotiated between mining firms and would-be impacted Aboriginal communities has been cautiously celebrated as enabling improved impact mitigation and increased local capture of benefits. While improved outcomes have been substantiated by preliminary assessments of IBA effectiveness, some IBA-supported mining projects have recently met with community protests that reflect adversarial proponent-community relationships of old. It is argued, herein, that the limited success of some agreements has been caused by their failure to identify and thoughtfully address Aboriginal signatory's implicit expectations and interest regarding long-term community development. Accordingly, this thesis conceptualizes, based on extensive empirical evidence from contemporary northern Ontario, an ideal IBA, sensitive to the particular socio-economic conditions, cultural interests and community development expectations of Aboriginal signatories in northern Ontario. This research suggests that IBAs can serve as instruments of community development and mutual benefit between project developers and their Aboriginal partners, which constitutes a significant improvement from mining's exploitive history in the north.

Download or read book Best Practices for Impact Benefit Agreements written by Mary Cascadden and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to identify the best practices for negotiating, implementing, and writing Impact Benefit Agreements, organize those best practices into an evaluation framework, and use this framework to evaluate a case study. Best practices were identified in twenty-seven academic articles, books, reports, and guides compiled through a literature review. These best practices became forty-six sub-criteria, organized under eleven themes called criteria. Each is ranked and scored using indicator questions. The evaluation results are used to identify strengths and weaknesses of the Impact Benefit Agreement and its surrounding context. In this study, the Mary River Project Inuit Impact Benefit Agreement was evaluated as a case study. The Mary River Project is an iron ore mining project located on Baffin Island in Nunavut. This case received an overall best practices adherence score of 84%, which shows that the project has many strengths but much room for improvement. Several recommendations for the agreement and surrounding context were identified using the evaluation results.
