Critical Raw Materials and Their Impacts: Approaches for a Better Future

Studium Generale TU Delft

From lithium to cobalt and gold: what is the impact that our increasing dependence on Critical Raw Materials makes on our world?

TU Delft Library

What is the impact that our increasing need for Critical Raw Materials makes on our world? Can we ethically and equitably mine everything we need to support our lifestyles and the energy transition or not?The Why: Critical raw materials - their uses, mining, distribution, and disposal - are impacting our world and society in numerous ways. They shape our green energy transition, make our smart phones work, but they are also at the root of conflicts, environmental destruction, and human rights abuses all over the world.The What: At a university heavily invested in the energy transition, technological innovation, and climate mitigation, a broad analysis of these impacts is crucial. Over the past year, the TUD working group for Decolonizing Critical Raw Materials has addressed these impacts and today will present their data for an open discussion.Call to action: Join us for this afternoon session, where we will hear responses from a diverse panel and from you, the audience, to find a way forward together. Don't miss this opportunity to shape a more resilient and responsible future!
