Demand for minerals and metals to support a global energy transition will have a significant impact on communities affected by mining.
For some, fossil fuel projects will close, taking jobs and local businesses in their wake, for others mining operations for critical minerals will scale up and pose risks and opportunities for local communities and environments.
CSRM researchers are working to understand and highlight the risks many communities are facing and how the idea of ‘just transition’ will play out on the ground.
