The next webinar will take place on May 26, 2025 at 14.30 CET and explore human rights and equity in the critical minerals transition.
As the global push for Net Zero accelerates, the demand for critical raw materials (CRMs) is soaring, often at the expense of vulnerable communities and ecosystems. This webinar takes a deep dive into the paradoxes of decarbonisation, where ambitions for clean energy collide with the realities of mining, permitting, and accountability.
With Caroline Avan (Business & Human Rights Resource Centre), and Yblin Roman (Sirge Coalition) and Ludivine Wouters (Latitude Five) and facilitated by Saurav Roy, this webinar will cover:
- The intersection of transition minerals and Indigenous Peoples’ rights
- Certification schemes vs. binding frameworks for accountability
- The S dimension of ESG from Indigenous Peoples’ perspectives
- Corporate due diligence and litigation risks in mineral sourcing
- Indigenous Peoples’ principles and protocols for a just transition
- Value addition and linkages: toward equitable development outcomes.
- The demand perspective
