This event is part of the Waves of Change Festival 2023 held at ArtScience Museum on the 5th to 27th of August 2023.‘Deep Rising’ Film Screening &amp; Discussion: The Deep-Sea Dilemma Narrated by Jason Momoa, Deep Rising illuminates the vital relationship between the deep ocean and sustaining life on Earth. The documentary also follows mining startup The Metals Company, as it pursues funding, public favor, and permission from the International Seabed Authority to mine wide swaths of the Pacific Ocean floor.This screening is followed by a discussion organised by Eco-Business, The Deep-Sea Dilemma: Do We Really Need to Dig Up the Ocean Floor to Power the Energy Transition?US$8 trillion worth of precious minerals are scattered on the ocean floor. These minerals are in hot demand to make electric vehicle car batteries, solar panels and wind turbines. Six times the amount of minerals now being mined will be needed to power the energy transition and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. But mining the seabed could come at a significant environmental cost, wrecking the biodiversity of poorly understood ecosystems, ruining fisheries and altering the oxygen-carrying capacity of the ocean. Negotiations are now underway to set the rules for industrial-scale mining of the ocean floor. But do we really need to dig up the ocean floor? What are the alternatives? Together, we discuss the deep-sea mining dilemma.Location: ArtScience Cinema, Level 4For the full festival line-up, click <a href="http://www.wavesofchangefestival.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HERE</a>!Please note that there are limited seats to all talks.
