+ Hunting lithium: between native rights and modern technology demand

Are we damaging the environment in our attempts to save it? In this discussion, Per Kalvig, a trained geologist with many years of experience from the private mineral sector will examine the geopolitical stakes behind the resource rush and the rights of Indigenous peoples living in and around the world’s largest lithium reserve. How can the global push for green energy avoid repeating colonial patterns of exploitation? And what does a just and sustainable transition look like when Indigenous land, livelihoods, and sovereignty are at stake?
Language: English

The Bolivian Andes are rich in both lithium and drama in a film about a new gold rush, where global interests collide and 500 years of colonial history continue to haunt the present.
