The dark side of green energies

Solar panels, wind turbines, electric cars… Green technologies are being deployed across the world to accelerate a necessary green energy transition. Fact is, GreenTechs do require metals such as copper, graphite, cobalt or lithium too. In Latin America and Asia, mining countries are already paying a heavy environmental and human price, while enabling the West's green energy transition. 

From the north of China to the Atacama desert in Chile, via the Bolivian salars, the United States, Norway, Switzerland and France, this global investigation reveals the hidden side of green energies, too often overlooked since industrial and political stakes are considerable. 

A worldwide investigation, revealing that the requirements to make a green energy transition equitable for us all remain undeniable as well.
