Human rights abuses surging in Africa's green transition, Zambia hit

Human rights violations linked to the green transition have surged across Africa, with Zambia cited as a clear example. Growing global demand for copper — driven by energy, tech and defence companies — is displacing people from their homes and farmland to make way for mining. Critics argue the rush for minerals essential to climate goals is coming at a steep human cost for local communities.
Why now: Rising demand for copper and other transition minerals is putting displacement and rights abuses in mining regions back in the spotlight.
