Human rights and Chinese investment in the transition minerals rush
Original: Shifting ground: Human rights, Chinese investment and the rush for transition minerals
A new report, Shifting Ground, examines the human rights record of Chinese investment in the global rush for transition minerals used in renewable energy. It documents how mining of minerals like lithium, cobalt and copper raises risks for affected communities and workers, and urges stronger accountability from companies and investors as demand accelerates.
Why now: Demand for minerals essential to the energy transition is rising fast, putting renewed scrutiny on the human rights impacts of mining investments.
