Projects
Transnational land grabs and the great agrarian transition
More than 30 million hectares of land have been leased or acquired by foreign investors for agricultural purposes over the past two decades. With this project, we carry out a global analysis of the local implications of over 400 land deals on food, water, energy, and environmental security.
Extractive industries and the human rights to water
We are developing an operational framework to systematically diagnose key dimensions of inadequate water access and governance failures and identify threats to the human right to water posed by water-intensive industries. By applying this framework to real-world case studies, this project aims to uncover archetypal mechanisms through which threats to the human right to water are posed.
Unearthing Socio-Environmental Insights for Clean Energy Minerals
Energy-critical minerals (ECMs) like molybdenum, cobalt, nickel, lithium, and rare earth elements are essential for the clean energy transition but are predominantly extracted and processed in vulnerable communities across the Global South. This project adopts a transdisciplinary approach to connect global ECM flows with their regional and local impacts on health, livelihoods, and ecosystems.
