The School of Environmental Sciences at the University of Guelph is please to welcome everyone to the 2025 Public Hammond Lecture and discussion with Dr. Teresa Kramarz. Her talk will focus on some often-overlooked impacts of the renewable energy transition, particularly the socio-ecological displacements caused by critical mineral extraction. It will contrast the triumphalist clean energy narrative with the realities of dispossession, degradation, and dependent development in critical mineral producing states.

This is a public event and everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be available.
