矿产转型不该把水资源压力藏起来
The energy transition is often described as a move away from fossil fuels and toward cleaner technologies. Yet solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles still require minerals that must be dug, processed, transported, and financed.
That creates a difficult question for governments: where should the new mining happen? If a proposed project sits in a dry region, the conflict is not only about carbon. It is also about water, local farming, Indigenous rights, and long-term land damage.
