Después de #DíaNacionalPáramos, hablamos de sus preocupaciones: El cambio climático es más fuerte en al alta montaña, como se ve en la desglaciación del Carihuayrazo. Igual, hasta 2050, 30-50% del #páramo se podría perder por cambio climático. Lea mas: doi.org/10.18272/usfqp…

Muchos kudos to Don Kingsbury & @AmalieWilkinson for this critical contribution to the study of #energytransitions & #criticalminerals in Canada. Congratulations!!

Why Canada remains a “safe haven” for unscrupulous mining corporations.

As wonderful as it was to meet old & new friends at #ISA2024, I'm haunted by the image of so many people living rough on the streets of San Francisco. Out of genuine curiosity, does ISA work with community orgs working on homelessness & mental health in their host cities?

Major new attack on free speech by the fossil fuel industry. ⤵️

Great article (& powerful pictures) about Palo Quemado, home to Canadian Atico Mining's project La Plata in northwestern Ecuador, and how this quiet community has turned into an epicentre of anti-mining protests in the South American country aljazeera.com/features/2024/…
