Lithium is at the heart of the energy transition. But behind the “new white gold” there are water, territories, ecosystems and communities.
Sustainable tourism is often used as a label. But in Val Pennavaire, we tried to ask a more concrete question: sustainable for whom?
Join us in Stockholm for a photo exhibition on the realities of mining — from Indonesia to East Africa. Together with Swedwatch and partners, we’ll discuss the human rights and environmental impacts behind the minerals used in everyday products.
In the past few days, we’ve been working with schools across the Valtournenche—from Saint-Vincent to Cervinia—bringing an educational program on glaciers, water, and climate change into the classroom.
Today, on the International Day for Safety and Health at Work, we remember that workplace risks do not end at the factory gate or the mine entrance.
This Wednesday, Source International ETS will take part in the very first International Conference on Transitioning away from Fossil Fuels, hosted in Santa Marta (Colombia).
Glaciers are melting now. And faster than many people realize. A new paper in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment reports that glaciers lost 408 ± 132 gigatonnes of ice in 2025 alone. www.nature.com/articles/s43...
Global glacier mass change in 2025 - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
Glaciers lost 408 ± 132 Gt of mass during the hydrological year 2025, equivalent to 1.1 ± 0.4 mm sea-level rise. Since 1975, glacier mass loss has totalled 9,583 ± 1,211 Gt, equivalent to 26.4 ± 3.3 m...
