Course: Towards More Sustainable Oil & Gas Sector Projects. 2-3 May 2022 at the Vancouver Convention Center
This two-day program will provide practical knowledge to ESIA practitioners who want to learn more about the oil and gas (O&G) sector, conventional and unconventional (shale), offshore and onshore, carbon capture projects, and carbon neutrality considerations in O&G. The training will enhance their ability to leverage ESIAs towards more sustainable O&G developments.
Course: Towards More Sustainable Oil & Gas Sector Projects
2-3 May 2022 at the Vancouver Convention Center
This two-day program will provide a master class for intermediate-level environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) practitioners who want to learn more about the oil and gas (O&G) sector, conventional and unconventional (shale), offshore and onshore, carbon capture projects, and carbon neutrality considerations in O&G. The training will build on the participants' knowledge of the ESIA process, provide them with a foundation of environmental and social issues specific to O&G projects, and enhance their ability to leverage ESIAs towards more sustainable O&G developments. Goals and learning outcomes include:
Review the O&G development cycle and likely impacts and mitigation measures for hydrocarbon development projects.
Identify linkages between the O&G development cycle and the ESIA core components –and opportunities for decision making; and
Increase participants' level of confidence with ESIA's in the O&G sector through case studies and participant questions.
The training will be a participatory venue with a balanced mix of instructor presentations and discussions to leverage the participants' own broad range of experience, promote dialogue, and share best practices. Group exercises and case studies will be an integral part of the course. Participants should be prepared to exchange experiences, challenges and solutions with peers.

EP4 – What’s new
EP-4 renews focus on climate change, human rights, and Indigenous Peoples.
The Equator Principles (EP) is a risk management framework, adopted by several financial institutions since 2003, for determining, assessing and managing environmental and social risk in project finance.
EP4 is the latest update of the framework. EP4 applies to a broader range of financial products, reduces inconsistencies between “developed” and “developing” countries, and renews focus on climate change, human rights, and Indigenous Peoples.
