Conservationist Jay Hair has been appointed secretary general of the London-based International Council on Mining and Metals, the successor organization to the International Council on Metals and the Environment (ICME).
Hair has led two of the world’s most prominent environmental organizations, including the U.S. National Wildlife Federation.
“We welcome on board a strong leader with an extensive background in the areas and issues that will be critical to the success of our industry in the coming years of change,” says ICME Chairman Douglas Yearley.
