Title
WCS Canada comments in response to Canada's Critical Minerals List and methodology
Author(s)
Dr. Justina Ray
Published
2024
Abstract
Why it's important: The Critical Minerals List has a critical role in prioritizing and advancing project development, which creates a high potential for a significantly larger material footprint resulting from the growth-inducing social and environmental impacts associated with the escalation of such activities. What we want to see: 1) commit to a strategic assessment of Critical Minerals with the release of the updated List; 2) bolster the criteria to incorporate environmental and social sustainability, with attention to federal jurisdiction and climate commitments; 3) publish an updated List with information on its purpose and relevant mineral characteristics; and 4) include experts and civil society organizations in targeted consultations regarding criteria and their application.
