Europe is seeking to ensure a sustainable supply of metals for its twin "green and digital" transition. The European Union is drafting and enacting legislation such as battery regulation, the Due Diligence Directive, and the Critical Raw Materials Act. But there is a gap in these documents, a gap with the potential to make or break the European green transition - Indigenous Peoples' rights. This event examines this crucial gap. Listen to top scientists and Indigenous leaders about solutions and partnerships that will help us all move forward.

Europa busca garantizar el suministro sostenible de metales para su transición "verde y digital". La Unión Europea está redactando y promulgando leyes como la Directiva de diligencia debida y la Ley de materias primas críticas. Pero hay una brecha en estos documentos, una brecha con el potencial de facilitar o interrumpir la transición verde Europea: los derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas. Este evento examina esta brecha crucial. Escuche a científicos especialistas y líderes Indígenas trayendo propuestas que nos ayudarán a todos a avanzar hacia una transición justa.

L’Europe cherche à garantir un approvisionnement de métaux responsable pour sa double transition « digitale et écologique ». En ce moment, l’Union Européenne rédige et élabore des lois tels que le règlement sur les batteries, la directive sur le devoir de vigilance, et la loi sur les matières premières critiques. Cependant, une lacune persiste dans ces textes, une lacune qui a le potentiel de faire ou défaire la transition écologique européenne – le droit des peuples autochtones. Cet événement examine ce manquement crucial. Venez écouter des scientifiques et leaders autochtones discuter des solutions.
