Debatable: Green will never be brown
Join this lively debate. Renewable energy promises economic growth and freedom from fossil fuels, but demands unprecedented mining of rare minerals. Can we harness clean energy while respecting human rights and protecting ecosystems? Or will decarbonization repeat extraction patterns under a green guise?

A energia renovável promete crescimento econômico e independência dos combustíveis fósseis, mas exige uma mineração sem precedentes de minerais raros.
Será possível impulsionar a energia limpa respeitando os direitos humanos e protegendo os ecossistemas? Ou a descarbonização repetirá os mesmos padrões de extração, apenas sob uma nova aparência “verde”?
