Gabriel Visconti, superintendent of the area of Coping with Extreme Events and Management of the Rio Doce Fund of BNDES (National Bank for Economic and Social Development), hopes that the resources administered will be able to promote the “full and definitive repair” of the region affected by the tragedy of the Mariana dam (MG).
During the CNN Talks: New Era of Miningheld this Tuesday (30), in São Paulo, bringing together authorities, experts and leaders from the sector, Visconti described the episode as “a huge tragedy” and highlighted that it is “difficult for life to go back to the way it was before”.
However, he highlighted BNDES’ tradition in managing funds and the great responsibility that the institution carries in this specific case, seeking to recover the region by carrying out projects and carrying out actions that promote socioeconomic and environmental development.
“The application is essential that it is done well to promote the effective recovery of the region. With coordination, it will be effective and will promote recovery”, said Visconti to CNN Brazil.
O CNN Talks: New Era of Mining brings together authorities, businesspeople, experts and representatives from the mineral sector to discuss the path forward for Brazilian mining in a new phase of the global dispute for critical minerals, energy transition and supply chain security.
The meeting takes place at a time when Brazil is trying to transform its geological advantage into economic, industrial and diplomatic protagonism, with debates on financing, environmental licensing, innovation, sustainability, traceability, added value and greater participation of the country in the most noble stages of the mineral chain.
