Panel of nearly 100 countries to draw up guidelines for industries that mine raw materials used in low-carbon technology

Mining for some of the key raw materials used in low-carbon technology, such as solar panels and electric vehicles, has been associated with human rights abuses, child labour and violence, as well as grave environmental damage.
