Mining for the Climate

Behind every solar panel, wind turbine and electric vehicle is at least one mine and a community that has been altered by it. Mining for the Climate peels back the photovoltaic cell and peers under the hood to get to know the people and places impacted by the rush to mine critical minerals. In the process, we take a hard look at the stories told about climate change, mining and the energy transition, and we consider less mining-dependent futures. Mining for the Climate is a co-creation of Nate Otjen and Juan Manuel Rubio. It’s a production of Blue Lab at Princeton University.
