Water is Worth More than Lithium
Plurinational roundtable for the launch of OPSAL’s book and documentary. This event is created by and for land defenders, activists, academics and NGOs affiliated with OPSAL. The event seeks to amplify local voices and situate them within global demands for climate justice, in open critique of growth and green extractivist narratives – dominant paradigms of the corporate-led energy transition. This webinar will contribute to the construction of deep alternatives, from the grassroots and from the Global South.
The event will be accessible in Spanish and English.
