“60% of the world’s cobalt is mined in the DRC. Significant
amounts of this is mined under appalling conditions often by
child labourers.” My personal opinion on this statement is most
closely described by: A. What’s cobalt got to do with to me? B.
The DRC is a long way from where I live so I don’t really care. C.
This is just a fact of global supply chains and necessary for
global economic growth, which is in everyone’s best interest. D.
I wonder who is profiting out of this? E. It breaks my heart to
see children exploited. This is morally wrong and must not be
allowed.
Understanding the Context of Cobalt Mining in the DRC
Cobalt is a critical mineral used primarily in lithium-ion
batteries, which power everything from smartphones to electric
vehicles. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is the
world’s largest producer of cobalt, accounting for approximately
60% of global supply. This statistic highlights not only the DRC’s
pivotal role in the global supply chain but also raises significant
ethical concerns regarding how this cobalt is mined.
The Ethical Implications of Cobalt Mining
The statement about cobalt mining in the DRC brings to light
severe human rights issues, particularly concerning child labor
