The mining of metallic raw materials in the Brazilian Amazon region exemplifies the contradictions of global climate policy. While governments around the world are relying on decarbonization, the demand for metals such as aluminum, iron and copper is constantly growing. This has serious consequences for people and the environment in the mining regions as well as for the global climate. Only a small proportion of the world's mined metals actually flow into technologies for the energy transition.
