Join us for the next IRTC Junior Board Webinar, exploring human rights and equity in the critical minerals transition.

📅 May 26, 2025
⏰ 14:30 CEST | 08:30 EDT

As the global push for Net Zero accelerates, the demand for critical raw materials (CRMs) is soaring, often at the expense of vulnerable communities and ecosystems. This webinar takes a deep dive into the paradoxes of decarbonisation, where ambitions for clean energy collide with the realities of mining, permitting, and accountability.

With Caroline Avan (Business & Human Rights Resource Centre), Yblin Roman Escobar (SIRGE Coalition) and Ludivine Wouters (Latitude Five) this webinar will cover:

🔹 The intersection of transition minerals and Indigenous Peoples' rights
🔹 Certification schemes vs. binding frameworks for accountability
🔹 The S dimension of ESG from Indigenous Peoples' perspectives
🔹 Corporate due diligence and litigation risks in mineral sourcing
🔹 Indigenous Peoples’ principles and protocols for a just transition
🔹 Value addition and linkages: toward equitable development outcomes
🔹 The demand perspective

This interactive session, facilitated by IRTC Junior Board member Saurav Roy, will include insightful presentations followed by a Q&A to engage participants on the challenges and opportunities in balancing the need for CRMs with social and environmental justice.
