A group of over 150 civil society organizations from five continents
sent a letter to the International Energy Agency, urging the organization to transform its flagship World Energy Outlook report, putting a 1.5°C scenario at the center.
Among the six specific requests collectively made by the group was the following: “Ensure equity and justice with regard to minerals sourcing for clean energy technologies through recycling, circular economy solutions and independent, verifiable responsible mining criteria such as the IRMA Standard.”
