Minerals for a just transition

Overview

The objective of the project is to ensure that the extraction of raw materials that are critical for the energy and mobility transition in Latin America is guided by the principles of a Just Transition, understood as a socio-ecological and globally just economic transformation.

The project supports the exchange of best practices amongst mineral producing countries and implements pilot projects in mining regions to test new approaches. Furthermore, mineral producing countries are supported to:

• Develop linkages between the mining sector and local economies that promote technology transfer.
• Optimize fiscal systems to generate tax revenues and support civil society to monitor that revenues are spent efficiently to promote development in mining regions.
• Implement trainings for environmental authorities to regulate and oversee the mining sector.
• Promote participatory processes that integrate gender equity and indigenous representation.
• Develop training programs to foster skills for future mine workers and suppliers.
• Familiarize mining stakeholders with international due diligence laws, sustainable procurement practices and voluntary sustainability initiatives and certification schemes.
