Olivija Lazard (Olivia Lazard): Slepe mrlje prelaska na zelenu energiju

Slepe mrlje prelaska na zelenu energiju

Svetu je potrebna čista energija, ali dekarbonizacija zahteva ogromno uvećanje u rudarenju i iskopavanju minerala poput litijuma, grafita i kobalta. Ekspertkinja za ekološke mirovne pregovore Olivija Lazard osvetljava trku za osvajanjem ovih dragocenih resursa - i kako bi države koje kontrolišu lance nabavke (uključujući Kinu i Rusiju) mogle da se zateknu u središtu nove globalne pozornice. Saznajte zašto Lazard smatra da planetarna bezbednost zavisi od naše sposobnosti da deeskaliramo nadmetanje za resursima i izbegnemo iste greške koje su dovele do klimatske krize.

Pursuing a clean energy future demands a massive increase in mining for minerals like lithium, cobalt, and graphite, which are mostly found in fragile or conflict-prone regions. Electric cars alone require six times more mineral inputs than conventional ones, and global mineral demand is set to soar by 500 percent by 2050. As powerful nations scramble to control these resources, old patterns of exploitation threaten to repeat, putting both planetary security and peace at risk. Only by rethinking resource management and prioritizing ecological integrity can society avoid new crises born from the green transition.
