Energy transition or extractivism transition to Panama?
¿Transición energética o transición extractivista para Panamá?
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
In accordance with the provisions of Articles 257 and 290 of the Political Constitution of the Republic of Panama and the mining situation in the country, it is necessary to analyze the current intentions of the mining sector within the framework of the negotiations that it wishes to carry out with the incoming Government. The growing need for renewable infrastructure such as solar panels, wind turbines and hydropower, coupled with transport by electric vehicles, requires the use of minerals and metals, which are predominantly extracted from developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, due to their concentrated holdings of tin, gold, cobalt, niobium, copper and platinum.
