The project Beyond Hot Air is a conversation. It is an international, transdisciplinary multi-stakeholder initiative that explores the complex landscape of critical raw materials (CRM) supply for the ‘green’ transition. The project is based at the University of Vienna, AT and associated to/funded by the Canadian research network MinErAL.
This workshop brings together scholars from natural and social sciences, civil society actors, experts, Indigenous rights holders as well as political and corporate stakeholders to exchange knowledge and experiences of challenges and successful practices to enable more sustainable and socially accepted decision-making around mining for critical raw materials to advance the energy transition to be both ‘green’ and ‘just’.
The Beyond Hot Air project and the workshop focus on the complex relationship between mining and the energy transition. Combating climate change requires that all of us around the globe step out of our comfort zones - considering the full impact of mining for CRM on local communities and on the environment. We seek to dig deep to expose the dissonances, injustices and potential synergies in current debates, challenging the status quo.
‘Beyond Hot Air. Conversations around critical raw materials supply for the ‘green’ transition’ is a sub-project to the ‘MinErAL - Knowledge Network on Mining Encounters and Indigenous Sustainable Livelihoods’ funded by SSHRC - Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
