📣 Institute for Journalism and Natural Resources (IJNR) is accepting applications for the Critical Minerals Institute! Five spots will be reserved for members of IJA. The global shift toward renewable energy and electrified transportation could increase demand for minerals as much as 600 percent in the coming years, according to experts, and the rush is on to find – and mine – those materials. Adding to the urgency, the Biden Administration has placed a high priority on securing domestic supplies – hence the term “critical” or “strategic” minerals – and has backed those efforts with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. But these efforts to stave off the worst impacts of climate change will not come without costs, and it will be crucial that journalists accurately report on the impacts of this increase in domestic mineral production. To help them understand those tradeoffs, the Institute for Journalism & Natural Resources will conduct a Critical Minerals Institute, a five-day, six-night program based in Phoenix. Participating journalists will meet with Tribal authorities, policymakers, scientists, industry representatives, community organizations and concerned citizens as they travel to parts of Arizona and California to see current and proposed projects. We’ll visit important Indigenous sites, wildlife corridors and fenceline communities already dealing with environmental justice issues – and see places where places where proposed mines offer rare economic and career opportunities and are viewed as new sources of municipal revenue.
