Set limits on mining for a just energy transition
1,020 signatures
The energy transition is necessary. But it requires a lot of raw materials. These are often extracted in areas with unique nature, nature we desperately need for our food, clean drinking water, and in our fight against climate change. Say no to large-scale environmental destruction caused by mining.
Petition
We
civil society organisations and citizens,
establish that:
That the energy transition is essential and must take place as soon as possible.
The demand for raw materials for the energy transition is estimated to grow by almost 500 per cent until 2050.
We cannot risk large-scale environmental destruction (ecocide) caused by mining: nature provides food, clean drinking water, CO2 storage and climate regulation.
and request
- The House of Representatives to stress the importance of a fair energy transition and system change in which circularity and less energy consumption are paramount.
- To urge the Government to ensure that mining does not lead to large-scale environmental destruction (ecocide) and human rights violations;
- To join the alliance of countries calling for a moratorium on deep-sea mining.
