As we move towards the end of the year, there are so many distractions to our normal tasks in life. The increase in road traffic and the pure demand on your time to be doing multiple tasks can result in momentary lapses of concentration. These distractions can have disastrous ramifications.
As part of UQ’s Global Leadership Series, the Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI) have partnered with the ABC to create and broadcast a panel discussion which interrogates the role of minerals in a sustainable future.
In recent years, equitable and sustainable development has become an increasing concern in the global arena. Strategies which reach towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals must address concerns of climate and renewable energy transitions. We now need to ask how minerals will contribute to achieving these goals.
