Profiling Health for Equitable Benefit-sharing in the Global Critical Mineral Value Chain in East and Southern Africa

Please join the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research at York University on Tuesday, November 24, from 8:00 to 10:00 AM (EST) for an online webinar entitled “Profiling Health for Equitable Benefit-sharing in the Global Critical Mineral Value Chain in East and Southern Africa.”

As global demand for critical minerals accelerates alongside the energy transition, important questions arise about who bears the health costs of extraction and who shares in its benefits. This webinar will explore how health considerations can be better integrated across the critical mineral value chain to promote more equitable benefit-sharing for communities, workers and countries in East and Southern Africa.

Bringing together regional research and policy perspectives, the speakers will examine the intersections of mining governance, public health and equity. The panel includes several members of the African Extractivism and the Green Transition (AEGT) research partnership:

Dr. Rene Loewenson – TARSC/EQUINET, Zimbabwe

Lyman Mlambo – AEGT Zimbabwe Country Manager

Philippe Dunia – CEGEMI, D.R. Congo

Derrick Bwalya – SAIPAR, Zambia

We encourage you to join us for what promises to be an important discussion on advancing health equity and more inclusive approaches to critical mineral governance in the region.
