Following up on the conference “Turning Down the Heat: Can We Mine Our Way Out of the Climate Crisis?”, we will present the conference report and host a virtual round table addressing three related themes: updates from extractive regions (Canada, Chile, southern Africa); reflections on how pressure is being/can be built to (a) reduce energy consumption and demand for minerals and metals, and (b) impose stricter conditions on extraction (FPIC/right to say ‘no’, no-go zones, safeguards etc.); and perspectives on how efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and build a Green Recovery/Green New Deal are working towards global equity – or not. Our special guests for this round table will be: Kate McKenna, The Leap (Toronto) – moderator Anjali Appadurai, Sierra Club BC (Vancouver) – Climate justice, Green New Deals, extractivism, and the renewable energy transition Andrew Whitmore, Deep Sea Mining Campaign (London, UK) – Deep sea mining and the renewable energy transition Ramón Balcázar, Observatorio Plurinacional de Salares Andinos (Chile) – Lithium extraction in Latin America Trusha Reddy, WoMin (South Africa) – Conditions for mining and the right to say ‘no’ Our own Ugo Lapointe – Conditions on mining for the renewable energy transition in Quebec/BC/Canada  Register here!
