The transition to clean and sustainable energy is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, but it is intrinsically linked to the availability of critical minerals, essential for technologies such as batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines. This session will explore the intersection between access to these minerals and social justice, examining how the management of natural resources can impact vulnerable communities, developing countries, and global dynamics. Discussion will address the economic, political, and environmental implications of the growing demand for critical minerals, analyzing the opportunities and challenges of an energy transition that is both ecological and equitable. We will discuss strategies to mitigate the risks of global inequalities, promote sustainable policies, and ensure that the benefits of the transition are distributed fairly and inclusively.
