Digging Deeper Conversations on Mining and Just Transitions
Topics
We urgently need to phase out fossil fuels and reshape the global economy to deliver climate justice. But switching to renewable energy means we need new materials, and mining companies are jumping on this to make big profits, reinforcing old colonial patterns. From lithium to niobium, a new mining boom is happening, driven by speculative demand.
How can we fight for a truly just transition without fueling more exploitation? Could alternative approaches reduce or eliminate the need for new extraction? What does this shift mean for frontline, rural, and Indigenous communities? Is “just” mining even possible, and if so, what campaigns or demands can support it?
This new series of conversations is aiming to explore challenging questions around mining and the energy transition, and the solutions that transnational social movements are putting forward.
