🗣️ Leading the Charge for a Just Transition! A powerful coalition of 230 Indigenous Peoples groups, unions and various organisations dedicated to climate, environmental justice, and human rights, including CAN, have united to develop recommendations for a transformative approach to transition minerals. With the UN Secretary-General setting up the Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals, we are aiming to contribute to the panel’s work for a just global energy system that benefits everyone. The panel is led by a diverse group of experts and stakeholders, under the guidance of co-chairs Ambassador Nozipho Joyce Mxakato-Diseko of South Africa and Ditte Juul Jorgensen, Director-General for Energy of the European Commission. The panel’s goal is to ensure that the countries and local communities endowed with mineral resources are the ones to benefit most, in line with a just and equitable energy transition and long-term sustainable development. The panel aims to help companies and governments advance justice, equity, and human rights throughout transition minerals value chains. 👉 Read our recommendations for the panel here: https://lnkd.in/dCDsw7it As they enter their next phase of work, we urge them to carefully consider and integrate these recommendations into their draft. Civil society actors eagerly anticipate the panel’s output and look forward to supporting a robust set of actionable principles that lead to a just energy transition for all. #JustMinerals #JustTransition #IndigenousRights #IndigenousPeoples #Sustainability #Environment #EnvironmentalJustice #ClimateJustice #HumanRights

Are we in the era of a mineral rush? There is a rush to extract transition minerals, which is leading to tension regarding the growing renewable energy and battery industry, the rights of Indigenous Peoples and communities’ right to a healthy and clean environment, and the risk of resource-rich countries embarking in yet another wave of extraction with limited benefits for their societies. And this is happening where the mining industry has over and over shown a terrible record of human rights and environmental harms. Two months ago, the UN Secretary General asked for a Panel to come up with principles that could ensure that these transition minerals contribute to justice and equity. As the Panel meets in person for the first time in Copenhagen, more than 160 civil society organisations representing a diverse cross section of groups working on Indigenous Peoples rights, labour rights, climate, governance and human rights have signed a letter to the Panel, outlining what our principles could look like. The sign on is still open, so don’t hesitate to add your voice to these demands. Just get in touch with us or via Anabella Rosemberg. In the days following the Panel, we will be taking stock of the meeting and communicating. So watch this space. #energytransition #justtransition #extraction #climatejustice

☀ One month ago we had our first Sunshine Story Webinar: Indigenous-led Energy Transition Across Turtle Island, in Collaboration with Climate Action Network Canada and Sacred Earth Solar. Sacred Earth Solar’s and the Indigenous communities’ they have worked with stories’ demonstrate the importance of centring decolonisation work in the energy transition. They contextualise the personal experience, demonstrating the historic violence committed by both the state and corporations. The work Sacred Earth Solar does emphasises the importance of understanding the complexity of achieving a just and equitable transition. In so-called Canada, Indigenous communities are the largest asset owners of clean energy after utilities. The energy transition in the region has been led by Indigenous communities, through centring their voices we can better understand how they have achieved this, where they have struggled and where they have succeeded ✊ 👩💻 You can read our latest blog from the webinar here on our website 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dYh3DMrj You can watch the full webinar on our YouTube Channel 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eUsZAfPu You can find out more about the work Sacred Earth Solar does on their website 🔗 https://sacredearth.solar/
