The two panelists will give their view in two different perspectives, Arne Müller from a swedish, european view and Dr. Lobsang Yangtso from the Himalayas, The Tibetan plateau. What happens when we here in Europe go further in our transformation to" green" energy. How does it affect other parts of the world where we might get the minerals needed for batteries from. What are the dangers of the hunt for minerals in countries with lesser legislation around environment, working conditions and human rights.

Arne Müller Panelist
Arne Müller is a journalist and author living in Umeå. Among other things, he has worked as an editor for SVT's regional newscasts in Västerbotten. In 2013, he debuted with the book" Smutsiga miljarder- den svenska gruvboomens baksida". Since then, he has continued to write books where northern Sweden, natural resources and climate change have been recurring themes. The latest book " Norrsken-drömmen om den gröna industrin" examines the large industrial projects that have been launched in northern Sweden in recent years. In 2017, Müller resigned from his job at SVT to become a freelance journalist and thus be able to fully devote himself to the subjects he focuse on.
