China’s Supply Chain Challenge—From Timber to Minerals

As the world’s factory, China’s international supply footprint for extractive raw materials is expansive and growing, from timber to minerals, such as bauxite, copper, and cobalt. Lack of domestic regulation has meant Chinese industries thus have few incentives to green their supply chains or monitor the social impacts. Join us on November 8 from 2:00-4:00pm for a discussion of on-the-ground investigations by NGOs and lawyers into the environmental and social damage from timber concessions in Papua New Guinea and bauxite industries in Guinea supplying Chinese manufacturers.

Please join the Wilson Center's China Environment Forum, Environmental Change and Security Program, and the Africa Program, for a discussion of on-the-ground investigations by NGOs and lawyers into the environmental and social impacts of Chinese and other foreign extractive industries.
