Major industry players are working together to create a voluntary global standard that can certify minerals as responsibly produced. But such a framework would consolidate the power and influence of these mining giants and allow them to act with impunity, while providing false assurances to investors, governments, and consumers.
Prohibiting mining in key areas can safeguard biodiversity and Indigenous rights in the energy transition.
