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, moderated by Dr. Maria Akchurin, 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.
