Wasserkonferenz: Strategies against lithium mining and for the preservation of water and biodiversity

Marš sa Drine is a national campaign against the mining of lithium, borate and related minerals in Serbia. Teaser:A 30-minute talk will explore the critical role of water in Serbia’s Jadar region and the national movement to protect rivers, groundwater, and drinking water from Rio Tinto’s proposed lithium mine. We show how the mine threatens agriculture, people’s way of life and cultural identity, sparking a movement that has united hundreds of thousands across political and social divides. This resistance has drawn Europe’s attention to the darker side of the “green” energy transition, exposing the myth of “sustainable” resource extraction driven by corporate interests. The talk will be followed by a 1-hour discussion addressing audience questions and concerns, ending with how to unite differences and take action to stop destruction in threatened regions. https://marssadrine.org/en/
