DESCRIPTION:Over the past century global demand for natural resources has 
 led to unsustainable\, socially-unjust and environmentally-disastrous prac
 tices of resource extraction. Now in the depths of a climate and ecologica
 l crisis\, we are faced with the necessity of transitioning from a hydroca
 rbon-fuelled\, mining-intensive society into something altogether more sus
 tainable within the next decade. This panel discussion brings together exp
 erts from outside of the geosciences\, with the aim of exploring the ramif
 ications of a ‘green transition’ for natural resource extraction. We w
 ill discuss questions such as: can extraction ever be sustainable\, to wha
 t extent are technological developments key to sustainable extraction\, an
 d how can new ways of extracting and using natural resources promote socia
 l and environmental justice?
