Rights over resources: Local Perspectives on the EU Critical Raw Materials Act
Webinar, 2 December 2024, 15:00 to 16:30 CET
Wetlands International is excited to be invited to CONCORD’s upcoming webinar, Rights over Resources: Local Perspectives on the EU Critical Raw Materials (CRM) Act on Monday, 2 December 2024, 15:00 to 16:30 CET.
As the European Commission’s Raw Materials Week 2024 approaches, this webinar aims to shed light on the importance of comprehensive and inclusive impact assessments that go beyond economic metrics and the EU’s own interest, and that meaningfully include local stakeholders.
The session will feature preliminary findings from CONCORD’s Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development (PCSD) working group’s review of the CRM Act’s Impact Assessment. Civil society representatives from Central Africa and Latin America will then give insights on the actual economic, environmental, and social impacts of the regulation on local communities.
