Description

Is critical mineral mining at risk of creating new harms as it solves old ones? Yes, if we don't course correct now. Lithium, cobalt, and nickel are essential for the energy transition, but their extraction often leaves destruction behind. Galina Angarova, a member of an Indigenous group in Siberia; the Buryat peoples, joins Climate Curious to unpack the dilemmas of critical mineral mining and how to fix it. As Galina says, “we need to start from ourselves. We have to start with our human transformation.”

Climate action is the new five-a-day for your kids, says Maya Mailer on TEDxLondon’s Climate Curious. The co-founder of Mothers Rise Up and co-director of Our Kids’ Climate shares how parent-led groups are bringing fresh creativity to the climate movement. From Mary Poppins-themed flash mobs to subverted Father’s Day cards and stilt walkers symbolising oil derricks, parents are getting inventive in ways that unite families — kids, grandparents, and loved ones — to take a stand. The love-led creativity is endless, and parents are leading the charge!
