COP16 Side Event
Monday 21st October at 18:00, Seaflower - Contact Group 3 meeting room, CEVP Ground floor
Industrial and energy related transitions in response to climate change require exponential amounts of critical raw materials. Quality deposits and potential resources are found in critical marine and terrestrial ecosystems, biodiversity hotspots, indigenous territories and climate vulnerable areas. This implies that climate targets partially conflict with biodiversity and nature-based targets. Identifying and reconciling tensions where they occur is a matter of planetary security, which itself needs to be squared with increasing security dilemmas within international systems that are also driving up material demands.
Olivia Lazard, affiliated with the University of Exeter and Carnegie Europe will convene a panel to talk about the need to establish no go mining zones, and to reconcile nature and climate-based targets. The panel will include Earth Insight, Stop Ecocide and policy makers.
