The Graduierten- und Forschungsakademie – TU Freiberg in coooperation with Eine-Welt-Fachpromotor für Ressourcengerechtigkeit (Ayni e. V.) – Sachsen invites you to this month’s online session of the Webinar series on “Global and development policy issues toward natural resource extraction”. Link
Due to its expected growth potential, digitization and future technologies are seen as hope for our economy and society.
On the one hand, a digitized society needs raw materials. Mining, processing, trading and, last but not least, the disposal of the raw materials for the production of smartphones, tablets and laptops often go hand in hand with serious human rights violations, serious conflicts and considerable environmental degradation.
On the other hand, we will discuss in this WEBINAR how digitalization influences environmental and social sustainability. The information revolution is currently changing the daily lives of billions of people worldwide.
At the same time, the current economic model and consumerist lifestyle needs to be radically transformed if society is to overcome the challenges humanity is facing on a finite planet.
We look forward to your active participation as our guests take us through this topic and attempt to answer your questions. Please fell free to dial in the following link
