Windmills, solar panels and electric cars require raw materials such as nickel, copper, cobalt, bauxite, manganese and platinum. Raw materials that are currently mainly extracted in Africa, South America and Asia, often with disastrous consequences for people and nature. Because of the green energy transition, the demand for these raw materials continues to increase. How do we ensure that the sustainable energy transition does not lead to the same pitfalls as the fossil fuel economy?

That is the central question on October 6th during ‘Sustainable energy: Mind the mining pit’, an event organised by IUCN NL in cooperation with Pakhuis de Zwijger, ActionAid, SOMO and Friends of the Earth Netherlands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
