SUMMARY:The green transition: is sustainable and fair extraction of critica
 l minerals possible? 
DESCRIPTION:Kontakt: noomi.egan@fsi.lu.se\n\nWelcome to a panel discussion 
 reflecting on the possibilities of extracting critical metals and minerals
  fairly and sustainably. Researchers and experts will discuss topics such 
 as substitution of minerals\, resource efficiency\, labor practices\, demo
 cratic and inclusive decision-making processes\, and impacts of increased 
 mining on local and marginalized populations. &nbsp\;&nbsp\;They will also
  debate the inevitable tradeoffs between local needs and environmental con
 cerns\, and the demand for critical minerals in sustainable electrificatio
 n – in the context of the neocolonial rush for critical mineral resource
 s.&nbsp\;Another topic will be the implications of the European Critical R
 aw Materials Act\, which entered into force in May 2024. The act aims to l
 essen Europe’s dependency on import of critical raw materials.&nbsp\;Par
