WCEF2024 – Material demand and solutions for the energy transition
We need to simultaneously achieve the energy transition and decouple resource use from well-being. This session of the World Circular Economy Forum 2024 will explore in depth the parallel policy actions required to do this: taking a holistic approach to manage the demand for transition materials in a sustainable manner and to call for responsible mining. We will bring in the views from different stakeholders on the approach and their role in this journey.
This session was recorded at the World Circular Economy Forum 2024 at SQUARE Brussels Convention Centre on 16 April 2024. The session was organised by Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Fund.
