Assessing the risks of extracting metals for the global energy transition

该项目旨在制作首个此类在线地图集，系统地记录世界各地采矿地点的社会、环境和经济影响。分析金属供应链源头的影响对于理解向金属密集型低碳能源技术过渡的影响至关重要。该项目将提供实现“公正”能源转型的可行途径的见解，这意味着成功应对气候变化的转型不会给矿业社区和环境带来不可接受的负担。这项研究的目标是提出基于证据的建议，以便未来的金属供应既可靠又负责。

This project aims to produce the first of its kind online atlas that systematically documents the social, environmental and economic impacts in mining locations around the world. Analysing impacts at the source of metal supply chains is crucial to comprehend the implications of transitioning to metal-intensive low-carbon energy technologies. The project would deliver insights on available pathways to achieve a ‘just’ energy transition, meaning a transition that successfully tackles climate change without placing unacceptable burden on mining communities and environments. The goal of the research is to generate evidence-based recommendations so that future metal supply can be both reliable and responsible.
