New tracker examines transition mineral mining in South America
Original: Transition Minerals Tracker 2026: South America
The Business and Human Rights Resource Centre has published the Transition Minerals Tracker 2026 for South America, compiling data on companies extracting minerals used in the energy transition, such as lithium and copper. The tracker monitors human rights allegations against mining firms across the region, a key supplier of raw materials for batteries and renewable technology.
Why now: South America's lithium and copper resources are central to the global energy transition, making human rights scrutiny of mining companies timely.
