A “mineração verde” é o mesmo extrativismo de sempre—destrói a terra, a água e a vida em nome da ação climática.

Na #COPdoPovo em Belém, membros da YLNM do Chile, da Indonésia e do Pacífico denunciam o mito de que a mineração pode resolver a crise climática.
#SimÀVidaNãoÀMineração #JustiçaClimática
A Mentira Verde: Comunidades Expondo o Mito da “Mineração Verde” na COP30. Logo do Sim à Vida, Não à Mineração. "Conclamamos todos os presentes na COP30 a parar de promover a narrativa do extrativismo ‘verde’. Um novo ecossistema energético verdadeiramente sustentável deve ser construído a partir das comunidades de base, apoiando iniciativas das organizações comunitárias locais em conjunto com cientistas — e não por meio da expansão da mineração e da destruição das florestas em Sulawesi, das nascentes e das terras produtivas, nem pela poluição dos rios, costas e mares que são fonte de vida e sustento para os povos de Sulawesi, Maluku e Papua.”-Muhammad Al Amin, Diretor Executivo de ONG local Walhi South Sulawesi e membro do YLNM. “A mineração em águas profundas é vendida como essencial para a transição ‘verde’ e para a segurança global, mas ambas as afirmações são falsas. Não se trata de soluções climáticas, e sim de lucro e militarização. A mineração em grande profundidade causará danos irreversíveis à vida marinha e aos ecossistemas oceânicos. Para os povos do Pacífico, o oceano é a própria vida. Juntamo-nos a eles no chamado por uma proibição global.”-Natalie Lowrey, Deep Sea Mining Campaign e membro do YLNM. "“A pressão global por minerais de transição levou à expansão das fronteiras da mineração sem o devido reconhecimento do Direito de Dizer Não das comunidades indígenas e sem conhecimento suficiente sobre os impactos da extração de lítio em novos salares. A crise climática, agravada pela extração de minerais de transição, não pode ser resolvida sem o envolvimento pleno das comunidades locais, da sociedade civil e da comunidade científica.”-Ramon Balcázar, Observatorio Plurinacional de Salares Andinos (OPSAL) Chile e membro do YLNM. O “extrativismo verde” não é justiça climática. É a próxima fase do mesmo sistema destrutivo — aquele que trata a terra e a água como descartáveis e as comunidades como dano colateral. Como afirmam os Princípios da YLNM, o bem-estar das pessoas e do planeta depende de manter a Terra íntegra, e não de transformar terras, águas e oceanos em zonas de sacrifício. Dos salares do Chile às florestas da Indonésia e ao fundo do oceano Pacífico, os povos se levantam para dizer sim à vida e não à mineração. yestolifenotomining.org

La “minería verde” es el mismo extractivismo de siempre: destruye tierras, aguas y vidas en nombre de la acción climática.

En la COP del Pueblo en Belém, miembros de YLNM de Chile, Indonesia y el Pacífico denuncian #LaMentiraVerde - el mito de que la minería puede resolver la crisis climática.
La Mentira Verde: Comunidades Exponen el Mito de la “Minería Verde” en la COP30. Logo de Sí a la Vida No a la Minería “Hacemos un llamado a todos los presentes en la COP30 a dejar de promover la narrativa del extractivismo ‘verde’. Una verdadera transición energética sostenible debe construirse desde las comunidades de base, apoyando las iniciativas de las organizaciones locales junto con científicos, en lugar de expandir la minería y destruir los bosques de Sulawesi, los manantiales y las tierras productivas, contaminando los ríos, las costas y los mares que son fuente de vida y sustento para los pueblos de Sulawesi, Maluku y Papúa.”-Muhammad Al Amin, Executive Director of local NGO Walhi South Sulawesi and YLNM miembro. "“La minería en aguas profundas se presenta como esencial para la transición ‘verde’ y la seguridad global, pero ambas afirmaciones son falsas. No se trata de soluciones climáticas, sino de lucro y militarización. La minería en las profundidades causará daños irreversibles a la vida marina y a los ecosistemas oceánicos. Para los pueblos del Pacífico, el océano es vida misma. Nos unimos a su llamado por una prohibición global.”Natalie Lowrey, Deep Sea Mining Campaign y miembro de YLNM. "“La presión global por los minerales de transición ha llevado a la expansión de las fronteras mineras sin el debido reconocimiento del Derecho a Decir No de las comunidades indígenas y sin un conocimiento suficiente de los impactos de la extracción de litio en nuevos salares. La crisis climática, agravada por la extracción de minerales de transición, no puede resolverse sin la participación plena de las comunidades locales, la sociedad civil y la comunidad científica.”-Ramon Balcázar, Observatorio Plurinacional de Salares Andinos (OPSAL) Chile y miembro de YLNM. El “extractivismo verde” no es justicia climática. Es la siguiente fase del mismo sistema destructivo, uno que trata la tierra y el agua como desechables y a las comunidades como daños colaterales. Tal como afirman los Principios de YLNM, el bienestar de las personas y del planeta depende de mantener la Tierra intacta, no de convertir tierras, aguas y océanos en zonas de sacrificio.

“Green” mining is the same old extractivism — destroying land, water and lives in the name of climate action.

At the People’s COP in Belém, members of #YesToLifeNoToMining from Chile, Indonesia and the Pacific are calling out #TheGreenLie - the myth that mining can solve the climate crisis.
The Green Lie: Communities Expose the Myth of “Green” Mining at COP30. Logo of Yes to Life No to Mining. “We call on all those present at COP30 to stop promoting the narrative of ‘green’ extractivism. A truly sustainable energy transition must be built from the grassroots — led by local communities and supported by scientists — not through expanding mining and destroying forests in Sulawesi, or polluting the rivers, coasts, and seas that sustain life and livelihoods in Sulawesi, Maluku, and Papua.” - Muhammad Al Amin, Executive Director of local NGO Walhi South Sulawesi and YLNM member. “Deep sea mining is sold as vital for the ‘green’ transition and global security, but both claims are false. This is not about climate solutions—it’s about profit and militarisation. Mining the deep will cause irreversible damage to ocean life and ecosystems. For Pacific peoples, the ocean is life itself. We stand with them in calling for a global ban.” - Natalie Lowrey, Deep Sea Mining Campaign and YLNM member. “Global pressure for transition minerals has led to the expansion of mining frontiers without proper recognition of the Right to Say No of Indigenous communities and without sufficient knowledge of the impacts of Lithium extraction in new salt flats. The climate crisis worsened by transition mineral extraction cannot be solved without the full engagement of local communities, civil society, and scientists." - Ramon Balcázar, Plurinational Observatory of the Andean Salt Flats (OPSAL) Chile and YLNM member. “Green extractivism” is not climate justice. It’s the next phase of the same destructive system, one that treats land and water as expendable and communities as collateral. As YLNM’s Principles affirm, the wellbeing of people and the planet depends on keeping the Earth whole, not turning lands, waters and oceans into sacrifice zones. From the salt flats of Chile to the forests of Indonesia to the Pacific Ocean floor, people are rising to yes to life and no to mining. yestolifenotomining.org
