ABSTRACT
As we grapple with urgent challenges of sustainability and social justice, we must work together to find practical solutions that prioritise the well-being of people and the planet. In this session, we will explore key themes related to climate change, migration, and livelihood disruption, as well as the Lithium Triangle’s social, economic, and environmental outcomes. Our discussion will also cover the complexities of legal frameworks governing informal & artisanal mining and the challenges posed by global supply & demand dynamics for battery minerals in the transition towards green energy.
