The rise of demand for critical minerals and, specifically, rare earths has accelerated the race for raw materials, and it reproduces the colonial patterns of land grabbing. Is urban mining an alternative to extractivism? We discuss these issues with Martín Lallana, researcher on Ecosocial Transition, Felix Best Agorvor, from recycling start-up 5 Seconds Connect Ghana, and Clàudia Bosch, from SETEM. Moderated by ODG's researcher, Júlia Martí. Organized with the Institute for Policy Studies. If you could not join the session, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/4ThUZPfuCyk
