Biodiversity should not be endangered in the name of the energy transition. This is what former Finnish Minister for the Environment Sirpa Pietikäinen’s advocates, as she expresses disapproval about recent European legislation which encourages the creation of new mines at the risk of damaging biodiversity, in the name of strategic autonomy.
