Windmills on dry earth - GRIP-ARM

In this first GRIP-ARM speaker series event,  Dr Julie Klinger, Glen Mpufane from IndustriALL Global Union, Florian Anderhuber from Euromines and others will join a roundtable to discuss the governance of critical raw materials: challenges and the stakes of critical raw materials governance across multiple perspectives’.

Governance of critical raw materials is an ongoing challenge. Challenges at the international level are characterized by competing strategies to secure supply, shifting geographies of extraction and weak regulatory regimes which undermine transparency and free trade-oriented objectives.

Around the world, national strategies range from unleashing prospecting bonanzas to reducing production to remediate environmental harm, and local issues encompass efforts to recruit mining and industrial facilities as well as fierce resistance in the name of labor rights, cultural preservation, and environmental protection.
