Navigating the Complexities of the Clean Energy Era

Please join us as we recap an international meeting of experts reflecting on the ethical dilemmas surrounding the scramble for critical minerals to meet the clean energy transition. Building on our own research as well as those of our participants studying China, the US, and European investment in mining in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa, we will discuss 1) geopolitical dynamics, material requirements, and different visions of a sustainable future; 2) communities, strategies, and democracy around extractive industry expansion; and 3) opportunities and challenges moving forward.

Speakers: Deborah Avant, Devin Finn, Linda Mendez-Barrientos, and Tricia Olsen. Read their bios here.
