A research Officer with the PNG Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative says lack of realistic policies and framework to address impacts of sudden mine shutdowns, affect businesses and communities among those whose lives depends entirely on the mine. Eileen Mosusu, in her presentation at the Geoscience, Exploration and Extraction Conference in Port Moresby shed light on a pressing issue faced by communities affected by sudden mine closures. Her research, which focuses on the ‘absence of realistic policies and frameworks to address the impacts of mine shutdowns’, offers both insights and recommendations for industry leaders and policymakers. Miss Mosusu identified two key areas of concern: The Need for Realistic Policies on Sudden Mine Closures Mosusu emphasized that Papua New Guinea (PNG) has experienced several sudden mine closures, notably the Panguna Mine on Bougainville in the Autonomous Region, the Porgera Mine in Enga Province, and the Hides Gas Project in Hela Province. These unexpected closure of operations leave impacted communities vulnerable, often triggering social unrest and economic collapse. “When mines close abruptly, the lack of a structured plan for the affected communities’ results in chaos. There is a breakdown in social and economic systems, which escalates tensions,” she said. Community Resilience and Adaptation in the Face of Adversity Despite the challenges, Mosusu highlighted the resilience of communities like those in Panguna, in Autonomous Bougainville. Thirty years after the mine closure and a subsequent civil war, Panguna’s communities have developed innovative survival strategies. “From artisanal mining to geo-tourism, these communities have found ways to thrive. They’ve turned to reusing and recycling materials and fostering a new market economy. This adaptability showcases their resilience,” Mosusu explained. Motivation for the Research Mosusu’s connection to Bougainville played a significant role in shaping her research. “Bougainville’s history is deeply intertwined with the extractive industries, and as my home island continues its journey toward independence, the lessons learned from the Panguna Mine closure remain critical. My background as an Environmental Scientist, specializing in heavy metal assessment, further motivated me to explore the impacts of artisanal mining on the environment and local communities,” Mosusu stated. Alignment with PNGEITI’s Goals Although her research began prior to joining PNGEITI, Mosusu highlighted how her findings align with the organization’s broader objectives of promoting transparency and accountability in the extractive sector. “Sudden mine closures often leave communities without critical support and economic stability, which underscores the need for better risk management strategies. PNGEITI’s mission to ensure extractive activities are managed in a way that minimizes negative outcomes for communities directly aligns with the discussions my research generates.” Mosusu pointed out that PNGEITI can play a key role in advocating for the inclusion of sudden mine closures in policy discussions, ensuring companies and governments are held accountable for their responsibilities toward affected communities. Shaping Future Policies Mosusu hopes her research will inspire conversations around creating frameworks that anticipate sudden mine shutdowns. She noted that while mining projects are required to present Mine Closure Plans, these often fail to address unexpected closures. “We must ask ourselves, what happens if a mine closes ahead of schedule? Do we let the community crumble, or do we implement policies that allow these communities to thrive sustainably, with or without the mine in operation?” Implications for Stakeholders Mosusu acknowledged the sensitivity of discussing the Panguna Mine, given its historical context and ongoing human rights complaints. However, she stressed the importance of considering the long-term impacts of mine closures on communities and the role artisanal mining plays in sustaining local economies. “Engaging in transparent and accountable practices is essential. Policies must reflect the realities on the ground, especially for artisanal miners, and include proper licensing and environmental protections.” Future Research and Recommendations Looking ahead, Mosusu plans to participate in the 6th Alluvial Mining Convention to further explore the discussions around the alluvial mining sector. She also called on PNGEITI to continue supporting research in the extractive industries by publishing comprehensive reports, partnering with academic institutions, and sponsoring case studies that showcase best practices in governance. Executive Director of PNGEITI, Lucas Alkan said the underlying objective of PNGEITI is to promote transparency and accountability in the extractive sector and that it mission to ensure extractive activities are managed in a way that minimizes negative outcomes for communities directly aligns with the discussions points raised by Miss Mosusu in her research paper. In saying this Mr. Alkan said “ on PNGEITI to continue supporting research in the extractive industries by publishing comprehensive reports, partnering with academic institutions, and sponsoring case studies that showcase best practices in governance”. In her concluding recommendations for policymakers and industry leaders, Mosusu urged stakeholders to engage in conversations about sudden mine closures and their impacts on local communities. “We need frameworks that sustain local economies with or without mine operations, ensuring that communities can continue to thrive after the mine is gone.”

ExxonMobil Senior Vice President of Global LNG, Mr. Peter Clarke, recently shared his insights on the success of Papua New Guinea’s liquefied natural gas industry and the bright opportunities ahead as a keynote speaker at Kumul Petroleum Holding Limited’s Petroleum and Energy Conference held in Port Moresby. “Papua New Guinea is truly well-positioned for the future -- one where LNG will have an even larger presence in the global energy mix,” said Mr. Clarke. “With proximity to market and high-quality resources, PNG can continue supporting regional demand for decades to come, with Asia Pacific countries set to be core natural gas customers, and in the process help these countries meet their energy security and emissions reduction goals,” he added. Through the PNG LNG Project, Papua New Guinea has demonstrated the ability to deliver reliable supply to customers, Clarke said. “When the first shipment of Papua New Guinea’s LNG set sail on the ‘Spirit of Hela’ to Japan in 2014, and PNG entered an esteemed club of LNG exporting nations, no one could have foretold what the future would bring. But with the benefit of 10 years of hindsight, I can confidently say that through the strength of our partnerships, we have exceeded all expectations -- and together, we have firmly established Papua New Guinea’s global reputation for excellence in the LNG industry,” Clarke said. “In just its first decade of operations, the PNG LNG Project has generated tens of thousands of jobs and strengthened PNG’s economy. It has engaged 155 local businesses, including 10 LANCOs in the production phase, and invested 6.8 billion kina in PNG with these businesses,” Clarke said. “And along the way, we have helped to deliver more than 27 billion kina back to the State of Papua New Guinea and its people.” ExxonMobil and its co-venturers’ investments in the country continue today, with multiple works currently underway to bring new volumes online and further strengthen PNG LNG’s production levels, Clarke said. “We are also pleased to announce that the P’nyang LNG co-venturers are currently progressing its concept evaluation phase. This phase is critical to ensure that the design to develop this proven 4.6 TCF resource is as capitally efficient as possible which is particularly important given P’nyang’s remote location,” he added. “Thanks to our close partnerships with the national and provincial and governments, our co-venturers including Mineral Resource Development Company and Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited, TotalEnergies, Santos and JX Nippon, our LANCOs, local communities and landowner leaders and other business partners -- we are incredibly excited for LNG’s next decade and beyond in Papua New Guinea,” he added. “Together, we have built a resilient, successful and globally respected LNG industry in PNG.”

The government has reiterated its ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, with an interim target of a 50-percent reduction by 2030, at the recent Petroleum and Energy Conference 2024. Recent reports indicate progress, particularly in the agriculture, forestry, and other land use sectors, which have successfully met initial CO2 reduction targets. Papua New Guinea (PNG) Climate Change Development Authority (CCDA) Acting Managing Director Debra Sungi highlighted the collaborative efforts between the agency, the PNG Forest Authority, and National Energy Authority to advance these objectives. Sungi said: “In our recent bi-annual update report, which we've submitted off to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, we have reached our target under the agriculture, forestry, and other land use, which is of 10,000 gigagrams of CO2 equivalent with zero debt in our recent findings. “That is a positive step that the government have actually taken together with you all in terms of ensuring that we work together in a more sustainable way. “Those targets are very specific for our agriculture, forestry, and other land use. And that is from our enhanced NDC, which was done back in 2020. We are in 2024, almost halfway through 2030. “It's a 10-year target. It is a positive milestones which we have achieved together,” she added Speaking at PEC24, Sungi, emphasized the urgent need for PNG to transition toward greener practices in the face of mounting climate challenges. Her remarks centered on leveraging nature-based solutions to combat climate change, while also promoting sustainable development. Sungi highlighted the importance of the country’s forests, as reiterated by PNG Prime Minister Hon. James Marape. "As we engage in international forums, we must fully utilize our forest resources," she stated, noting the increasing frequency of climate-related disasters over the past decade, which have disrupted traditional agricultural practices and altered weather patterns. Despite contributing a mere 0.001% to global emissions, she argued that PNG cannot afford to ignore the impacts of climate change. "If we don't take action now, we risk becoming one of the highest emitters in the future," she cautioned. Sungi also addressed the challenges of financing climate initiatives, noting the delays often associated with accessing international funds like the Green Climate Fund. "We need to mobilize resources effectively to respond to the immediate impacts of climate change," she urged, noting the importance of public-private partnerships. The CCDA executive detailed specific goals for transitioning from fossil fuels, particularly diesel-powered plants, to renewable energy sources by 2030. She said the National Energy Rollout Plan outlines potential investments in cleaner energy solutions across identified provinces. Moreover, Sungi announced recent amendments to the Climate Change Management Act, which will enhance governance around carbon markets, enabling better collaboration between the government, local communities, and the private sector. This regulatory framework aims to streamline efforts in forestry management and carbon trading. “I am pleased to say that even after the amendments of the Climate Change Management Act in 2023, we have made some few amendments to allow us as an authority to now manage and govern the space around carbon markets. And we have the regulation that maybe in a couple of days we will have a statement out that we have some endorsement. “I would like to acknowledge our good Prime Minister in driving this agenda going forward together with our ministers,” she said. “It a legislation that has been missing for a very long time. And having that around the forestry sector governs our work in terms of working together not only with our local communities, our landowners, but also with the private sectors around a different market approach, which we have identified another carbon market regulation.” Sungi called for collective action, noting that achieving PNG's climate goals requires partnership across all sectors. "We must ensure that our development is sustainable and inclusive," she stated.

Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape announced the launch of a “transformative” $1.2 billion (4.8 billion kina) agro-forestry project aimed at boosting the economy and infrastructure of the remote midlands of Western Province. During a press conference, PM Marape outlined key features of the project, which promises to enhance connectivity and generate substantial employment opportunities in the region and the country. The conference followed the signing of the GRE Drimgas Project in Western Province at the Government House on October 29th in Port Moresby. The project will facilitate the construction of over 300 kilometers of sealed roads and an additional 300 kilometers of all-weather roads connecting Kiunga to Nomad, extending towards the borders of Gulf Province. Plans include further expansion of this highway to Kikori in the future, the Prime Minister said. "This initiative is not just about road construction; it’s about processing and sustainable development," Marape stated. "Logs harvested from this corridor will be processed within Papua New Guinea by 2028 at a facility located in the deep-water area of Strickland River." The project, being developed by Italian investors, is set to process timber for export to European markets. Landowners will receive 10% equity in the venture, along with log levies and royalties, benefiting directly from the project’s success. Additionally, the provincial government of Western Province and the national government will each hold 5% equity stakes. After 25 years, the equity share for PNG beneficiaries will increase to 51%, ensuring greater local ownership and control. The initiative is projected to create over 3,000 direct jobs, along with numerous indirect employment opportunities through various spinoffs. It emphasizes environmental compliance, adhering to national standards, and includes a five-year project review clause to monitor compliance. "The state will not invest money but will provide necessary regulatory support, allowing the investors to take the lead in developing the project," Marape explained. In addition to the agro-forestry initiative, the Prime Minister highlighted the government's plans to diversify agricultural production across the country. This includes the development of oil palm, rice, cattle, and coffee industries, as well as the expansion of cocoa and copra production. Marape also called on provincial governors from peaceful regions to seek out investors, assuring them of government facilitation. "This is just the beginning. Our government is committed to unlocking the potential of our natural resources while ensuring sustainable practices," Marape added.

The Bank of Papua New Guinea (BPNG) Governor Elizabeth Genia addressed recent significant legislative changes to the Central Banking Act during the recent September 2024 Monetary Policy Statement presentation at the Royal Papua Yacht Club. The amendments, passed by Parliament in September, pave the way for the establishment of a new Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) aimed at enhancing the independence and transparency of monetary policy in PNG. “This is the last Monetary Policy Statement from the Bank of Papua New Guinea under the current governance structure,” Governor Genia stated. “The recently passed amendments include a provision for the establishment of a new Monetary Policy Committee, comprising myself as Governor, our Deputy Governor, and three appointees who are not members of the Bank of Papua New Guinea Board.” The new committee’s formation marks a critical step in strengthening the independence of monetary policy decision-making, Genia said. With only the Governor and Deputy Governor sitting on both the MPC and the Bank’s Board, the committee’s membership will be determined by the Head of State, based on advice from the National Executive Committee and the Treasurer. The appointment of the three additional committee members is expected to progress smoothly, with the aim of having the new MPC operational as soon as practicable. “This change will facilitate more robust discussions and decision-making processes in our monetary policy framework,” she noted. An essential aspect of the legislative amendments mandates the MPC to publish a statement following each meeting, detailing individual votes and the rationale behind decisions. “This will add transparency to the process of setting monetary policy and provide greater insight into the considerations behind our decisions,” Governor Genia explained. Moreover, the recent changes clarify the objectives of the BPNG, placing price stability as the primary and overarching goal.  “Our secondary objectives are to ensure financial stability; promote sustainable medium term economic growth, especially in the non-mineral and non-petroleum sector; and to promote the development of Papua New Guinea’s financial system,” Governor Genia said.

The Papua New Guinea Tourism Promotion Authority (PNGTPA) has officially partnered with the Jimi District Development Authority (JDDA) in Jiwaka Province to enhance local tourism and promote local culture on a global stage. This was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on October 11 at the Ela Beach Hotel in Port Moresby. PNGTPA Chief Executive Officer Eric Mossman Uvovo described the MOU signing as "small but very significant." “What we can do is drive tourism at the district level, with the potential for cultural tourism, bird watching, festivals, and guided tours in the area, which is a global based tourism attraction,” he said. Uvovo acknowledged some challenges, including financing and law and order issues. He urged for a proactive approach, saying: “Let’s not wait for law and let’s take the tourism agenda head-on.” Hon. Wake Goi, the new Minister for Mining and Member for Jimi Open electorate, also stressed fostering partnerships for tourism promotion. He expressed a desire to explore how the mining sector could support local tourism, stating: “Let’s drive this tourism agenda.” Mr Gabby Aipanga, Chairman of the Jimi Marita Festival, outlined ongoing tourism promotion efforts, particularly around the Annual Jimi Marita Festival, which showcases the cultural, health, and economic significance of the Marita crop. The festival has been registered with the National Cultural Commission and has been in collaboration with the PNGTPA since 2022. The Jimi District, one of three districts in Jiwaka Province, is characterized by its mountainous terrain and lush rainforests. According to the 2011 census, the district has a population of approximately 70,000 to 80,000 residents. The festivals as discussed can also generate income through local tourists within the area, resulting in a boost of economic activity, Mr Aipanga said. The festival and other tourism initiatives aim to develop Jimi as a tourist destination through projects such as the Memints Track Development, a historical 32-kilometer track from Banz Township, ideal for bird watching and sightseeing; and the Mini Museum, a collection showcasing local handicrafts, art, and traditional tools. This partnership positions Jimi District as a vibrant cultural and tourism hub in PNG, with the potential to attract both domestic and international visitors. Attendees included Kennewton Kennedy TPA Executive Manager for Partnership and Product Development; Mathew Pyakali, CEO of JDDA; PNGTPA management representatives and JDDA officers.

By: Niki Alsford Niki Alsford is Professor of Anthropology and Human Geography, and Director for the Institutes for the Study of the Asia Pacific (ISAP) at the University of Central Lancashire. He is Research Associate at SOAS, the University of London and Associate Member of the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Oxford. In August 2024, I had the privilege of attending the Mount Hagen Cultural Show, one of Papua New Guinea’s most vibrant and significant cultural events. As I stood among the performers adorned in feathers, paint, and traditional attire, I couldn’t help but marvel at the richness of the island’s cultural heritage. The festival, or Singsing in Tok Pisin (a creole language spoken throughout the country), is a testament to the country’s cultural diversity, where over 800 languages are spoken, and each community has its unique traditions and customs. This diversity, combined with the stunning biodiversity, offers a tourism potential that is both unique and underexplored. Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a country that, by all accounts, should be a prime destination for global travellers. It boasts some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems, pristine beaches, and unparalleled diving opportunities, especially in regions like Milne Bay and Kimbe Bay. The rugged landscapes of the highlands are home to an array of bird species, including the rare and beautiful birds of paradise. Yet, despite these attractions, PNG remains one of the least visited countries in the world, with tourism numbers lagging many of its Pacific neighbours. The Potential and Perils of Tourism The potential for tourism to bring economic benefits to PNG is undeniable. In many developing countries, tourism has acted as a catalyst for economic growth, creating jobs, fostering small businesses, and bringing in much-needed foreign exchange. In PNG, where the economy largely depends on extractive industries like mining and oil, tourism could provide a more sustainable and diversified income stream. However, as with any developing nation, the influx of tourists comes with its own set of challenges. PNG operates on a dual economic system: a formal monetary economy that the government and larger businesses operate within, and a subsistence economy where the majority of the population engages in farming and bartering to meet their daily needs. The introduction of large-scale tourism could disrupt this delicate balance, particularly in the highlands, where traditional ways of life have been preserved to a greater extent than in the more urbanised coastal regions like Port Moresby and Lae. In the highlands, the economy is not driven by cash but by subsistence farming and the exchange of goods and services within the community. This system has allowed highlanders to live sustainably for generations. Introducing a tourism-driven cash economy could lead to social stratification, with those benefiting from tourism becoming wealthier while others are left behind. Moreover, the allure of easy money from tourists could lead to the erosion of traditional values and practices, which are integral to the social fabric of highland communities. Cultural Sensitivity and Responsible Tourism One of the most critical issues in developing tourism in PNG is ensuring that it does not lead to cultural exploitation or degradation. The highlands, in particular, do not need to be “developed” in the global sense of the word. Development here should not mean the imposition of foreign values or economic systems, but rather the empowerment of local communities to share their culture on their terms. Tourism in PNG should be approached with a model of cultural sensitivity and responsibility. This means developing tourism initiatives that are community-led and that prioritise the preservation of cultural heritage over profit. For instance, cultural festivals like the Hagen show should be supported in a way that ensures they remain authentic expressions of local traditions rather than becoming commercialised spectacles for foreign visitors. One approach could be to focus on low-impact, high-value tourism. This model would limit the number of tourists but increase the revenue generated per visitor. By targeting niche markets, such as eco-tourism, bird-watching, and cultural tourism, PNG can attract travellers who are genuinely interested in learning about and respecting local cultures and ecosystems. These tourists are more likely to spend money on local services and products, ensuring that the benefits of tourism are felt at the community level. The Importance of Infrastructure and Safety A significant barrier to increasing tourism in PNG is the lack of infrastructure. Many of the country’s most beautiful and culturally rich areas are difficult to access, with limited transportation and accommodation options. Investing in infrastructure is essential to make these areas more accessible to tourists. However, this must be done in a way that is sensitive to the environment and the needs of local communities. Safety is another concern that has deterred many potential tourists from visiting PNG. The country has a reputation for lawlessness, particularly in urban areas. While this perception is not entirely accurate, it does highlight the need for improving security, particularly in tourist areas. Collaborations between the government, local communities, and international partners could help address these issues, making PNG a more attractive destination for international visitors. Balancing Development and Preservation Ultimately, the challenge for PNG is to find a balance between leveraging tourism for economic development and preserving the country’s unique cultural and natural heritage. The highlands, in particular, represent a region where this balance is especially crucial. Development should not come at the cost of cultural erosion or environmental degradation. Instead, it should focus on empowering local communities to manage tourism in a way that benefits them economically while preserving their cultural identity. To achieve this, the government, NGOs, and the private sector must work together to develop tourism policies that prioritise sustainability and cultural sensitivity. This includes providing training for local communities in tourism management, developing infrastructure that benefits both tourists and locals, and ensuring that tourism revenues are reinvested into the community. As such, Papua New Guinea stands at a crossroads. The potential for tourism to bring economic benefits to the country is significant, but it must be managed carefully to avoid the pitfalls that have befallen other developing nations. By focusing on responsible, culturally sensitive tourism that prioritises the needs and desires of local communities, PNG can develop a tourism industry that not only brings economic benefits but also helps to preserve its rich cultural and natural heritage for future generations. Tourism without tourists might seem like a paradox, but in the context of PNG, it represents a model of development that respects and preserves the very things that make the country unique. By embracing this model, PNG can offer travellers an experience that is not just about visiting a new place, but about understanding and appreciating a way of life that has endured for centuries.
