The conflict potential of natural resources.

Hightech products determine our lives in many ways. The natural resources necessary for these however, are not always readily available, at the right conditions.

In the face of highly cross-linked resource flows as well as the changing political, economic and social framework conditions in the producing, transit and consuming countries, it is insufficient for politicians to simply take a national focus when making efforts to guarantee the security of energy supply. Political stability in the producing countries is just as important as the consideration of social and environmental standards during the mining of natural resources. » more

adelphi has been commissioned by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) to look into the climate intensity of investments and their effects on climate protection.
