Subject: Invite for the next seminar

Welcome to the 'What is a Just Green Transition?’  seminar series, where we debate the democratic and economic challenges in greening capitalism. ​How do we square democratic rights with green industrial policies? When: April 16, 14:00-15:30 Where: CBS Dalgas Have 15, Room C.0.33 The material needs of renewable energy systems, electromobility and battery energy storage require ever more mining of critical raw materials with severe environmental, social and economic impacts on local communities. As strategic rivalry between the United States and China intensifies, securing access to critical raw materials has become a central policy concern. As access to mineral markets tightens, industrial policy has emerged across both mineral-producing and mineral-consuming states as a response to rising uncertainty, risk, and demands for economic sovereignty.  The panel will debate the tensions and contradictions  arising over critical raw materials based on their research and different perspectives.   Participants: Jojo Nem Singh, University of Sussex and ERC project on Green Industrial Policy in the Age of Rare Metals https://miningfordevelopment.eu/  Henry Sanderson, Author of Volt Rush https://www.henrysanderson.net/  Karin Buhmann, CBS and Project leader of Frontiers of Natural Resource and Sustainability Governance for a Just Green Transition https://frontiers.cbs.dk/  Moderator: Lindsay Whitfield, Copenhagen Business School The seminar series is organised by the Observatory for Just Green Transitions, a partnership between the Democracy Institute at Central European University and the Centre for Business and Development Studies at CBS, funded by the OSF Global Forum on Democracy and Development.
