“CRITICAL MINERALS: Creating a Just & Sustainable Clean Energy Transition” is a 12-minute documentary about how to prioritize labor, environmental and human rights in critical minerals supply chains.
The U.S. government is currently considering a number of new trade agreements designed to help secure access to so-called “critical minerals” — raw materials like nickel, cobalt, lithium and others that are used in clean-energy transition technologies like electric vehicles, long-storage batteries, microchips and solar panels.
Depending on how they’re written, these critical minerals trade agreements can help countries meet shared climate, job creation and sustainable development goals or they can end up accelerating exploitative models of resource extraction harmful to workers, communities and the environment.
During this exclusive online screening, we’ll be joined for comments and Q&A by producer Mira Rubio of the California Trade Justice Coalition and other experts.
You’ll also learn how you can help ensure the clean energy transition helps advance a global race-to-the-top in human rights.
