Arctic for All: Gen X to Z Multidisciplinary Collaboration, Critical Minerals, and Green Energy Production (European Federation of Geologists)

Desired outcome is to raise awareness of the importance of significant and ample discussion of the challenges of getting the critical raw materials needed for the green energy in a just transition. Our collective history of mining has the developed world pushing the industry to the global south and the poles.. This is a critical topic that is virtually nonexistent at COP. Protecting fragile arctic ecosystems will be critical and will increase pressure for finance of these operations.
