Keynote by José Aylwin: “Challenges of a just energy transition? Lithium extraction in the Andean salt flats of Argentina, Chile and Bolivia”

Economies of the world are bound to rapidly transition towards green technologies - but at what costs? The role of resources such as Lithium is crucial in understanding the social and environmental dimension of an energy transition. How is Lithium extraction impacting the affected regions in the countries of the so called Lithium Triangle (Argentina, Chile and Bolivia) and its people and what could be done to establish truly sustainable practices? Join us as we discuss these questions together with José Aylwin.
