On this episode of Age of Change, we look at the production of electric cars, which relies on raw materials like cobalt that go on a global journey from mines to production plants. Electric vehicles have the potential to be better for the environment but the supply chain needs to work in a responsible way. Mapping the journey of the raw materials allows the environmental impact of electric cars to go on record.


-- About the series --

Humans have a remarkable capacity for imagination and invention, enabling us to think beyond the present and unravel the most complex problems. But, in the face of a planetary crisis, we can only achieve meaningful change if we work collaboratively and act globally.

This Age of Change series showcases some of the organisations and innovators who are driving that change. Join us as we explore aspirational solutions for change, sharing stories that serve as a blueprint for our future – one where we can exist in harmony with nature.
