Controlled explosion on open pit mine
“ The shortage is a ticking time bomb that requires immediate and collaborative action ”
TOM BUTLER SENIOR ADVISER , BCG
“ Companies should engage with local communities and invest in sustainable mining practices to mitigate the environmental impact . The industry has a responsibility to ensure that the extraction of these critical minerals does not come at the expense of local ecosystems or communities .”
This added layer of complexity makes the call to action even more urgent . As we strive for a greener future , we must also ensure that the path we take is sustainable and just , not only for the global community but also for the local communities directly affected by these mining activities . It ’ s a tall order , but one that we cannot afford to ignore .
