CIRAN Podcast “Reconciling Two Societal Needs: Resource Extraction and Nature Conservation”
The CIRAN project is excited to launch its new podcast series, “Reconciling Two Societal Needs: Resource Extraction and Nature Conservation.” This podcast will explore the delicate balance between sourcing critical raw materials and nature conservation. Hosted by Anita Stein (International Raw Materials Observatory) and Luis Rosendo (Generator), the series invites experts to discuss the framework conditions needed for the responsible sourcing of critical raw materials in protected areas. CIRAN is more than just a podcast – it’s a project funded by the European Union, which is committed to sustainable development. Our mission is to rethink how we extract essential resources while protecting the ecosystems where they are found. In our podcast series, we explore crucial topics such as national security, geopolitics, and the environmental impacts of raw material extraction. Each episode offers expert insights, engaging discussions, and practical solutions to this global challenge. Stay tuned for a thought-provoking journey into the future of responsible resource management!
