The blind spots of the green energy transition | Olivia Lazard | TED Talk

The TED Talk, “The blind spots of the green energy transition,” offers new insight on sustainability and sustainable energy. In this video, speaker Olivia Lazard questions how the world can transition to clean power if decarbonization calls for a massive increase in the mining and extraction of minerals like lithium, graphite and cobalt. Lazard sheds light on the scramble for these precious mineral resources and discusses how the countries that control their supply chains could find themselves at the center of the new global stage. In this informative video about the importance of sustainability and climate change protection, Lazard explains why decarbonization is so essential and offers a four-point plan. She also explains why she thinks the future of our planet depends on our ability to de-escalate resource competition and avoid the same mistakes that led to the climate crisis.
