Material Change Podcast Episode 6

In the final episode of our six-episode Material Change: Resourcing Net Zero podcast series, we continue to explore the essential role of the materials, minerals and mining in addressing the climate crisis and achieving net zero targets with guests from across the community. 

The mining sector’s future depends on attracting new talent into the industry through a mixture of promoting diversity and STEM learning. 

Join guests Dr. Emily Radley, Chair, IOM3Pride and Sarah Gordon, CEO, Satarla as they explore these core building blocks for the sector’s development. 

This episode is hosted by physicist, oceanographer and broadcaster Helen Czerski, and sponsored by the Camborne School of Mines at the University of Exeter. 

Material Change Podcast Episode 5

In this episode of our six-episode Material Change: Resourcing Net Zero podcast series, we continue to explore the essential role of the materials, minerals and mining in addressing the climate crisis and achieving net zero targets with guests from across the community. 

The extraction, processing and use of materials and minerals needs to be supported with cross-sector collaboration in order to achieve a net zero future. 

Join guests Jeff Townsend, CEO, Critical Minerals Association and Jeremy Wrathall, CEO, Cornish Lithium as they explore the need for policy framework to support this collaboration.
