No 418, Columbia FDI Perspectives from Columbia University, Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI)

Abstract: Community benefit agreements (CBAs) have the potential to promote more sustainable resource development by aligning investor-community interests. Governments must decide whether to mandate, support or replace CBAs with alternative policies designed to protect resource-adjacent communities. A proposed model contract clause offers guidance on structuring CBAs-covering funding, governance and enforcement.
