Transition minerals in Eastern Europe and Central Asia

Tracking human rights and environmental impacts linked to transition minerals in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) is emerging as a new hot spot for transition mineral extraction and supply, primarily due to its vast reserves of these minerals now critical to a fast transition to clean energy. The focus on this region is further compounded by rising geopolitical tensions and conflicts, with Russia’s war on Ukraine forcing Western countries to reduce their dependence on Russia’s fossil fuels and China’s minerals. These countries, particularly in the EU, are diversifying their supply of transition minerals by building strategic partnerships with resource-rich countries in EECA.
