About the lecture
Securing access to critical raw materials is deemed to be of strategic importance and necessity to ensure the EU’s obligations to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. To this end, the European Commission has put forward the Critical Raw Materials Act to streamline, speed up and simplify procedures enabling critical raw materials extraction, processing and recycling in the EU. In this lecture, Prof Bogojević will discuss conflicts that the rally for critical raw minerals has created – both within and outside the EU – and consider whether the proposed Act responds to these, as well as the extent to which it creates a new set of legal issues.
