What if the path to clean energy comes at the cost of people’s homes? 🏞️

Our new scoping review by Marlena Niedl explores how the rush for cobalt, copper & other critical minerals in the DRC is driving displacement—and why energy transition must also mean justice.

Climate mobility isn't just theory—it's dusty roads, dry wells and tough decisions. @hasterly.bsky.social gives us insights on how pastoralists face rising climate stress as age-old migration patterns come under pressure.
