Human rights under strain in the race for transition minerals
Original: Shifting ground: Human rights, Chinese investment and the rush for transition minerals
Business and Human Rights Centre published a report examining how Chinese investment in transition minerals is affecting human rights in mining regions worldwide. The report, titled 'Shifting ground', links the surging global demand for minerals used in the energy transition to concerns over labour conditions, community impacts and accountability in mining supply chains, where Chinese companies hold a dominant investment role.
Why now: Growing global demand for minerals critical to the energy transition has renewed scrutiny of human rights abuses in mining.
