Following the Lithium Frontier: Water, Global Inequality, and Green Extractivism
Lithium is widely recognized as a critical part of the renewable energy transition, yet its extraction affects water resources and the communities that depend on them. In this webinar, we will bring together perspectives informed by research and activism to discuss the socioenvironmental implications of intensifying lithium mining in Chile's Atacama Desert, reflecting on how the supply chains that stretch across borders to produce green technologies raise broader questions about global environmental justice.
Open to: LUC community members, Alumni, international partners, external stakeholders
