Headshot of a young woman with long brown hair, red lipstick and a blue shirt, speaking in to a microphone, with the backdrop showing the UNFCCC logo. Accompanying text says "In the Global South, we know that not all energy transitions are just. A rights-based and well-financed just energy transition is one that puts people, workers and communities at the centre. Dr. Wafa Misrar. Climate Action Network Africa".

Today, civil society groups will meet with the Asian Development Bank to discuss critical minerals for the #EnergyTransition
These minerals (eg lithium, nickel, bauxite) are vital components of clean energy technologies. But how they are mined, and who benefits, matters.
