Schätze aus der Tiefe – Kann es einen gerechten Tiefseebergbau geben?

In the organizer's words:

Our hunger for raw materials can no longer be fully satisfied on land - now the deep sea is coming into focus. But the seabed does not belong to individual nations; the International Seabed Authority manages it for the "benefit of mankind as a whole". We are discussing whether a fair and sustainable use of deep-sea resources is possible for all and what is needed to achieve this.

The seabed arouses covetousness. Numerous raw materials are stored in the hitherto little-explored depths of the oceans. So it's no wonder that some countries are planning to systematically mine them. The International Seabed Authority is to manage the mineral resources of the deep sea and license their extraction. In July 2024, the authority's council will meet again to address the future of deep-sea mining and thus the future of raw materials worldwide. On this occasion, we take a critical look at the topic: Who benefits from deep sea mining, who loses? Where is it even possible, how does it work and who are the players? How can we understand and consider all dimensions of the topic with our current view of the world and its connections?
