rudarstvo

Children work in an aggregate mining site, Kolwezi. As a climate emergency approaches, industries across the world slowly begin to adapt and change. Demand soars for materials needed for renewable technologies, with cobalt and copper more essential than ever for use in electric vehicle batteries and other cutting-edge applications. Around two thirds of Earth's deposits of the ores that contain cobalt, as well as vast reserves of copper, are found in the dusty southern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo. With a renewed interest from the global community, billions of dollars flow in and out of Congo. Multinational companies vie for rights to mineral deposits and Congolese politicians create a fruitful niche for themselves in the sale of contracts and site access around the mining town of Kolwezi. Little of this wealth comes to those who live and work here, as communities find themselves exploited, poisoned and excluded from the riches of the green minerals of the electric future.,Image: 804607234, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions:, Model Release: no
