Critical minerals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, copper and more are
key components of electric vehicle batteries and other green technologies.  As
the world increasingly transitions to clean energy sources, global demand
for critical minerals is on the rise.

As a result, the U.S. government is currently considering entering into a
number of possible “Critical Minerals Agreements” with foreign nations.
Depending upon how they’re written, these targeted trade deals could either
help meet shared climate, job creation and sustainable development goals or
end up accelerating exploitative models of resource extraction that are
devastating for workers, communities and the environment.

During this month's Power Hour briefing, we’ll be joined by *Krista Shennum
of Climate Rights International *who will be summarizing a new report on
the environmental, indigenous rights and labor implications of massive new
nickel mining operations in Indonesia and *Arthur Stamoulis of the Trade
Justice Education Fund* who will describe what’s at stake in new
Critical Minerals Agreement negotiations and how you can help shape them.

To join the conversation, please *RSVP here
