Short summary
The need for critical raw materials to build green energy systems is not widely discussed between experts and the public, despite support for climate targets. This presents a clear gap in geoscience engagement. As such, we describe the development of a public engagement toolkit called ‘GreenDealz’ for use at informal settings like festivals. Refined through field testing, GreenDealz can act as an entertaining vehicle for conversation and has potential to enhance knowledge on this topic.
