La minería avanza bajo falsas promesas de “desarrollo” y “soluciones verdes”, destruyendo el agua.

Las comunidades tienen derecho a entender estos impactos —y a decir no. YLNM se solidariza con quienes resisten y construyen alternativas post-extractivas.

Mining expands under false promises of “development” and “green solutions,” destroying water, land, cultures and livelihoods.Communities have the right to know impacts — and to say no.YLNM stands with those resisting extraction and building just alternatives.

Otra COP termina y expone el costo de la “transición verde”: la minería de “minerales críticos” destruye ecosistemas, contamina el agua y afecta a comunidades. La justicia climática exige frenar la minería y defender los derechos indígenas.

Friends of the Earth joined environmental defenders from the Sperrins, Peru and London at the Mines and Money Conference in London. Together, we reject the extractive industry being pushed on these communities by global mining corporations, and say 'Yes to Life, No to Mining!'.

Another COP ends, exposing the true cost of the “green transition”: mining for “critical minerals” destroys ecosystems, poisons water, and harms communities.

Climate justice means stopping destructive mining and defending Indigenous rights.

Hoy Ecuador vota.

El 'sí' significa bases militares, la política solo para multimillonarios y un ataque a los derechos de las comunidades y la naturaleza, que tanto ha costado ganar.

El 'no' significa no a la regresión. El 'no' significa vida.

Nos solidarizamos con nuestros miembros en Ecuador.✊

Today Ecuador votes.

"Yes" means military bases, billionaires-only politics, and an attack on the hard-won rights of communities and Nature.

"No" means no to regression. "No" means Life.

We stand in solidarity with our members in Ecuador who have fought so hard and for so long. La lucha continua✊
