Abstract
This Perspective provides a concise overview about conflicts related to transition minerals. It discusses how mining such minerals increases the risk of various types of conflict (section 2) before outlining the impacts of such conflicts (section 3). The final section (4) briefly reflects on pathways towards peace and conflict sensitivity, including recommendations for future research.
