The inequality of mineral mining – and how to fix it
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.”Further resources:How to live with fire, Oral McGuireTimestamps:00:55 Introduction to Indigenous rights and their role in biodiversity01:56 Meet Galina Angarova03:02 Galina's background and heritage09:24 Early activism as a member of an Indigenous group in Siberia; the Buryat peoples11:51 The role of Indigenous People in the green transition 16:04 Systemic issues in mining minerals22:04 The solution: human transformation 26:54 Understanding Indigenous legal frameworks28:02 The right to free, prior, and informed consent29:18 The need for communication31:11 Indigenous solutions for climate action!32:07 Traditional fire management techniques36:12 Soil management practices41:42 The power of mangroves43:58 Climate confessions48:47 Final thoughtsCreated by TEDxLondonExecutive produced by Josie ColterProduced by Ben BeheshtyCurated by Deesha ChandraHosted by Maryam Pasha and Ben HurstCommunications by Tara Cooper and Issey Gladston Hosted on Acast.

Why parents are taking a love-led approach to climate action
Climate action is the new five-a-day for your kids, says Maya Mailer on TEDxLondon’s Climate Curious.
