“Minerals are the backbone of the shift away from fossil fuels – leaving their governance out of just transition planning will undermine efforts to accelerate renewable energies by 2030 – a key target the COP has already set,” @antonio-hill.bsky.social advisor at @nrginstitute.bsky.social tells me.
