RILSA | Nejistý osud Zelené dohody pro Evropu před volbami do Evropského parlamentu
Farmářské protesty připomněly, že opatření Zelené dohody pro Evropu nemusí být pro Evropany politicky průchodná. Pro politickou průchodnost klimatických politik by se proto EU měla zaměřit na svůj závazek nenechat v zeleném přechodu nikoho pozadu. Aktuálním vývojem Zelené dohody pro Evropu a jejími sociálněpolitickými aspekty se v odborné publikaci pro Forum sociální politiky zabývá Klára Votavová, výzkumná pracovnice Institutu pro evropskou politiku EUROPEUM.

Policy Paper | Securing Europe’s Lithium Future: The Cinovec project and sustainable lithium mining
The EU's proactive stance, introduced in the Critical Raw Material Strategy and later Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), drives the EU approach to secure the supply of European/domestic critical raw materials for EV battery production. The Cinovec project has a large economic potential as it enhances the ability to secure domestic and regional supply of lithium, which is otherwise very geographically concentrated outside of Europe. Europe relies on a handful of countries, particularly China, for the import of lithium for the production of EV batteries.

Policy paper | Zajištění lithiové budoucnosti Evropy: Projekt Cinovec a udržitelná těžba lithia
Proaktivní postoj EU, který představila ve strategii pro kritické suroviny a později v aktu o kritických surovinách (Critical Raw Materials Act - CRMA), je hnací silou přístupu Unie k zajištění dodávek těchto surovin pro výrobu baterií pro elektromobily. Projekt Cínovec má v Česku velký ekonomický potenciál, protože zvyšuje schopnost zajistit domácí a regionální dodávky lithia, které jsou jinak geograficky koncentrované mimo Evropu. Ta je na dovozu lithia pro výrobu baterií pro elektromobily závislá na několika málo zemích, zejména na Číně.
