| Abstract: | The article examines the increasing demand for critical minerals essential for renewable energy technologies and the environmental challenges associated with their extraction. As the world transitions from fossil fuels, the need for metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements is projected to soar, with significant implications for mining practices and geopolitical dynamics. While there are abundant resources, the extraction process often leads to severe environmental degradation and human rights issues, including forced and child labor in some regions. The article also highlights innovative approaches to mining and recycling that aim to mitigate these impacts, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices in securing the materials needed for a renewable future.
