I’m in Amsterdam to celebrate the 50th birthday of TNI, the wonderful organisation founded to support internationalism and socialism in the wake of Chile’s brutal neoliberal coup. In these very dark times, it’s wonderful to be surrounded by so many amazing activists, reminding each other that we’ve been in dark times before, we’ve resisted and we’ve overcome. Keep fighting. - Transnational Institute heeft dit gerepost

Great changes don't happen by chance. They require commitment and ACTION. Throughout this week, I'll be joining other brilliant minds for the "IGNITE" FESTIVAL OF RADICAL IDEAS at the Transnational Institute in Amsterdam. Part of the "action" is fueling the spark that has been ignited by radical, passionate, and even unconventional minds over these past 50 years! May we be strong, still.🔥✊️💡 - Transnational Institute heeft dit gerepost

🥂 A TOAST 🥂 This week, we came together with our incredible partners in civil society to celebrate a major milestone: the EU's exit from the climate-wrecking #EnergyCharterTreaty! 🚪 The #ECT is a major block to fast and effective action on the climate and environmental crisis, locking countries into fossil fuel investments. But thanks to tireless campaigning from environmental and trade groups and allies across Europe, we've taken a significant step towards a clean energy transition! 💪 As victories are not our bread and butter, we hosted two special events to mark the occasion: a conference at the European Parliament that highlighted the significance of the EU decision and how to build upon this (more on this in the comments) 🏛️; and a celebration with our dedicated advocates, supporters, and friends 🎉 We raised our glasses 🥂 in a well-deserved toast to the collective power of civil society, and recharged our energy for the campaigns ahead. Because while this is a huge win, we know there's more work to be done! As we move forward in our fight for climate and social justice, we want to thank everyone who has stood with us on this journey. Your passion, commitment, and resilience is forever inspiring. 💚 Here's to more victories for people and planet on the horizon! 🌄Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe PowerShift e.V.

Great piece by our colleagues from the Raw Materials Coalition Member TNI https://lnkd.in/eMVF9t8tSerbia's decision to revive Rio Tinto's lithium mine is a dangerous gamble. While it supposedly promises economic benefits, the environmental and social costs are significant. Barcena writes: ''The mining licence had previously been revoked in 2022, after thousands of demonstrators had similarly taken to the streets, arguing that creating a massive lithium mine in the area could cause egregious and permanent damage to the environment, and contaminate the region's water supplies. The question arises, why would the Serbian government risk, once more, the ire of its citizens?''#Serbia #Lithium #EnvironmentalJustice Transnational Institute Lucía Bárcena Menéndez
Serbia's lithium gamble | Transnational Institute tni.org - Anti-mining movements and their allies have typically looked at mining companies and their direct activities. But with the rise of electric vehicles – and their complex supply chains – the terrain has changed. Mining companies are just one actor among many – and what happens next is new ground for everyone involved: https://lnkd.in/eRZByXh9
