Reducing mineral demand is a part of a just and equitable energy transition. The technologies we need already exist. Listen to Earthworks' Paulina Personius talk with Bodie Grimm on the Kilowatt Podcast about why she’s hopeful about minimizing mining impacts on the road to zero emissions transportation. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eu6k8f5X #EVs #JustTransition #Mining

"The energy transition must be inclusive and just, recognizing the central role that Indigenous Peoples play in safeguarding the planet’s biodiversity and climate. A just energy transition can be possible only with full recognition and protection of Indigenous Peoples’ rights, as enumerated by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples," writes Galina Angarova of the SIRGE Coalition. The UN Secretary-General's panel on energy transition minerals, which met this week in Nairobi, will be making recommendations in early September.

Creating toxic waste? Not very demure. Air pollution? Definitely not mindful. Let's talk about being truly demure and mindful—beyond our individual actions. It's time to make sure the big players, like governments and corporations, are moving away from fossil fuel production and stepping up to clean up their mess! 🏛️💼 It's not just a trend; it's a movement. Let's push for policies that protect our Earth, demand transparency, and ensure that those who pollute pay their fair share. Together, we can use our voices to drive change where it matters most. 🌍💪 Learn more here 📎➡️ https://lnkd.in/gkaPMVyj #VeryDemureVeryMindful #PollutionPrevention #CorporateAccountability

The SIRGE Coalition calls on the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) to revise, correct, and strengthen its statement to address critical gaps and shortcomings. These gaps threaten to perpetuate the mining industry’s historical harms to Indigenous Peoples. Given that over half of all mining for energy transition minerals globally is on or near the territories of Indigenous Peoples, ICMM must ensure its members operate in a manner that fully respects and upholds the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

“Every place that there is this boom for mineral extractions [for electric vehicles], there are consequences for people on the ground.” Matthew Groch from Mighty Earth discusses solutions on the Driving Mobility podcast. https://apple.co/3MajgYZ #EVIndustry #deforestation #DrivingMobility #podcast #decarbonization #supplychains #evs #electricvehicles #emissions #greenhousegases

📢 No More Mining Loopholes: Protect Our Desert Tortoises! 🐢 The California State Mining and Geology Board is proposing new rules that could let mining projects bypass crucial environmental checks! This could endanger habitats, wildlife, and communities, including our beloved Mojave Desert tortoises. 😱🌍 We need YOUR help to ensure these regulations don’t allow more harmful exemptions. Sign the petition to demand mining projects comply with environmental protection laws, inform local communities and Tribes about exemptions, and clearly explain their decisions to the public. Your voice matters! ✊🌿 Sign the petition now! 📝 ➡️https://lnkd.in/gAM623Pw #SaveTheTortoises #GreenCalifornia #StopMiningLoopholes
