How To Report on the Green Transition and Critical Minerals

As the global shift toward clean energy accelerates, so does the demand for critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and rare earths, which are essential components in electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar panels. But this transition comes with significant environmental, social, and geopolitical implications.

This webinar will help journalists explore how to cover the green transition with nuance, uncover supply chain complexities, and investigate who benefits, and who bears the cost, of this mineral rush. Participants will learn how to:

• Identify underreported angles in the green transition
• Investigate the impacts of mining on communities and ecosystems
• Analyze corporate and government claims around sustainability
• Use tools to trace mineral supply chains and global trade

The speakers are:

• Isabel Harari, RIN Fellow and investigative journalist at Reporter Brasil
• William George, Director of Research at Import Genius  
• Emily Fishbein, RIN Fellow and investigative journalist
