Metals and Climate Justice - Mining our way into a climate-neutral future
Channel: Green European Foundation
Date: 16/08/2021

Presentation by researcher Jojo T. Nem Singh and moderated by Dutch MP Kauthar Bouchallikht focusing on metals and climate justice. 

In this video we explore the issues balancing between the need for metals in the Energy Transition and exploitation of mineral deposits and local claims.
Can the mining of rare metals for the energy transition contribute to economic development in the Global South? What about social and ecological justice for the communities affected by metal mining?  
Nem Singh is an assistant professor of International Development at the International Institute of Social Studies in The Hague. 
The institute is part of the Erasmus University Rotterdam.  This presentation was part of the webinar Mining our way into a climate-neutral future – Metals & climate justice (11 June 2021).
