奧莉薇亞‧拉札德: 綠色能源轉換的盲點

綠色能源轉換的盲點

世界需要乾淨能源，但脫碳就會需要大量增加一些礦物的開採，比如鋰、石墨、鈷。環境調解專家奧莉薇亞‧拉札德要來說明這些珍貴礦物資源的爭奪戰——以及控制供應鏈的國家（包括中國和俄羅斯）如何發現它們自己進入了新全球舞台的中心位置。來聽聽看為什麼拉札德認為地球安全要仰賴我們能否減緩資源競爭以及避免重蹈導致氣候危機的覆轍。

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.
