非技术性摘要。当我们考虑向低碳未来过渡时，有必要以让人想起绿色革命的规模来研究这种转型的矿物需求。农业转型带来的效率收益是以生态和社会成本为代价的，这应该会为未来的金属采购提供重要教训。我们为矿物革命提出了三种选择：现状、渐进式适应和革命性变化。我们认为，可持续的矿产革命需要一种范式转变，将福祉视为一种目标，并将重点放在保护自然资本上。技术总结。当我们考虑向低碳未来过渡时，有必要以让人想起绿色革命的规模来研究这种转型的矿物需求。农业转型带来的效率收益是以生态和社会成本为代价的，这也可以为矿物革命提供重要的教训。我们列出了这样一场矿产革命可以在时间尺度上描绘的一些关键方法，这是一种将福祉视为目的并专注于保护自然资本的范式转变。这些前景在概念上被描述为三条路径，它们将现状、渐进适应和革命性变化视为更有效地规划低碳过渡的手段。社交媒体摘要。可持续地采购金属将需要将福祉作为一种目的，并保护自然资本。
Non-technical summary. As we consider a transition to a low-carbon future, there is a need to examine the mineral needs for this transformation at a scale reminiscent of the Green Revolution. The efficiency gains of the agrarian transition came at ecological and social costs that should provide important lessons about future metal sourcing. We present three options for a Mineral Revolution: status quo, incremental adaption and revolutionary change. We argue that a sustainable Mineral Revolution requires a paradigm shift that considers wellbeing as a purpose and focuses on preserving natural capital. Technical summary. As we consider a transition to a low-carbon future, there is a need to examine the mineral needs for this transformation at a scale reminiscent of the Green Revolution. The efficiency gains of the agrarian transition came at ecological and social costs that can also provide important lessons about the Mineral Revolution. We lay out some of the key ways in which such a mineral revolution can be delineated over temporal scales in a paradigm shift that considers wellbeing as a purpose and focuses on preserving natural capital. These prospects are conceptually presented as three pathways that consider the status quo, incremental adaption and revolutionary change as a means of planning more effectively for a low-carbon transition. Social media summary. Sourcing metals sustainably will require to consider wellbeing as a purpose and to preserve natural capital.
