Global State of Sustainable Electric Vehicle Batteries

Throughout 2022, UC Berkeley’s Center for Law, Energy & the Environment (CLEE), along with ClimateWorks, conducted outreach to a variety of organizations active in EV battery supply chain sustainability efforts—including human rights and transportation electrification advocates—about recent successes and ongoing challenges. CLEE’s March 2023 issue brief, “Global State of Sustainable Electric Vehicle Batteries: Key Recent Accomplishments and Priority Actions for 2023,” summarizes key themes from the 2022 conversations, including pivotal developments that shaped the global EV battery conversation in 2022, and provides a glimpse of key 2023 decision points.
