Our focus is on the extraction of minerals and metals…

… as they are an essential part of many themes within the climate crisis and North-South issues, such as pollution, climate change, water scarcity, deforestation, conflicts, corruption, labour conditions, international law, deregulation and the debt burden of countries in the South.

Catapistas collaborate on awareness, networking, research, lobbying and/or exchange. In this way, CATAPA both in Belgium and internationally, can play a pioneering role in raising awareness about this growing problem and offer alternatives for responsible mining practices. We work in North and South Working Groups.
