Building: Cabot Intercultural Center City: Medford, MA 02155 Campus: Medford/Somerville campus Location Details: Mugar 200 Open to Public: Yes Professor Erika George of Boston University delivers a guest lecture on the adverse human rights impacts of decarbonization strategies that rely on the extraction of critical rare earth minerals in the DRC and Chile. After offering an overview of how the logic of racial capitalism operates in the context of extractive industries, it will explain environmental human rights and review relevant domestic mining regulations and selected global policy standards on responsible corporate conduct and mineral supply chain management to detect ways the logic of racial capitalism is replicated. It will consider how international investment law and trade law are implicated and the potential for progress. In conclusion, it will argue that the right to a healthy environment can provide a foundation for ensuring mineral extraction is done in a way that ensures the transition to a green economy is racially just and respects, protects and fulfills human rights.
