In module 3 of this course, you will learn how critical raw material challenges are analysed. Discover tools on how to assess how resource use affects the climate, the environment, and humans. You will delve into the approaches that are used to quantify these, learn about the impact of materials systems and dynamics, as well as the methods used for impact assessment. You will discover the potential of secondary resources and how to develop scenarios for raw materials supply and demand.

Let’s listen to Alessa first.
