Indigenous Peoples face a new wave of extractivism for transition minerals like copper, nickel, cobalt, and lithium, crucial for battery development. These mining projects risk replicating the harms of the fossil fuel economy by threatening Indigenous rights, especially those of Indigenous women, and destroying biodiverse ecosystems. This panel will prioritize Indigenous women’s rights.

Speakers include Galina Angarova (Cultural Survival), Lesley Muñoz (Plurinational Observatory of Andean Salt Flats - OPSAL), Jannie Staffansson (Cultural Survival), Guadalupe García Prado (Observatory of Extractive Industries), and Kate R. Finn (First Peoples Worldwide).

The Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute hosted an online forum on June 24. Garrison Institute Co-founder Jonathan F.P.

The discussion highlighted its global application. Kate Raworth introduced the concept, followed by Leonora Grcheva's insights on city implementation and Erinch Sahan's perspective on business applications. This insightful forum, reflecting the Garrison Institute's "Timeless Wisdom, Timely Action," offered ideas for improving the quality of life for all.

Noticing a gap between student environmental concern and action at Wesleyan, Kate Weiner founded LOAM in 2014. Inspired by an internship, her student-run environmental arts collective uses a literary magazine and gardening program to engage students in sustainability.

LOAM's free campus magazine features student environmental art and writing. Its "Wild Walls" program involves students building and maintaining low-cost wall gardens. The collective has successfully produced multiple issues and installations, receiving widespread positive feedback.

Post-graduation, Weiner continues LOAM's mission, fostering off-campus sustainability exploration. She and her peers also hosted a national youth essay contest and launched a new online platform.
