From Extractivism to Empowerment: Navigating the Global Shift to Renewable Energies

Energy and transition minerals

As we transition from an oil and gas-powered world to renewable energies, the demand for minerals crucial to the manufacturing of windmills, solar panels and electric batteries is projected to increase four-fold. This session will explore how this new paradigm could bring about a new industrialization and alternative models of development for producer countries...if environmental and social pitfalls are well-identified and avoided. Speakers will discuss the opportunities of the energy transition for the Global South, as well as the challenges, including the long-reaching shadow of past extractivism.
