Information on the conference and panel (T14P13) is at: http://www.ippapublicpolicy.org/conference/icpp4/10 Many thanks, Natalie Ralph and Linda Hancock PANEL: T14P13 - Resource Use, Circular Economy and Governance Impacts in Energy Transitions Chairs: Dr Natalie Ralph - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>; and Prof. Linda Hancock - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Energy transitions to renewable/alternative energy (RE) technologies require resources and materials such as those categorised as 'critical materials' by various countries (e.g. lithium, rare earths) and others regulated as 'conflict minerals' (e.g. tin, tungsten, tantalum, gold). Concurrently, RE technology design is increasingly required to align to circular economy systems. This shift however, may not be so quick as to avoid tremendous pressures on the communities and environments with reserves of these materials. Papers are invited that address (although not exclusively) the key research question and hypotheses including: in the energy transition, what are the public and private policy/governance mechanisms needed, and the potential national and geopolitical impacts, from ensuring RE aligns to the circular economy, with minimal/efficient resource production and use? To what extent is it possible or desirable, to reach a 'no more mining' context for specific materials due to the establishment of circular economy systems such as recycling? Can we hypothesise that RE embedded in circular economy systems will culminate in decreasing social, political and environmental negative impacts? And/or, that parallel to the circular economy, RE systems and technology development must consider critiques of the centrality of economic growth due to resource limits and impacts from a possible scenario where countries must steady/reduce their economic and GDP growth as explored in Degrowth and similar literature? Please email your abstract (300-500 words) outlining your paper project, research question, methodology and how it fits with the panel research question(s) to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> You will need to create or log-in to your conference account (go to: http://www.ippapublicpolicy.org/conference/icpp4-montreal-2019/10 Note: Your co-authors must also create an account.
