HeadlineAug 08, 2024

In Arizona, the Hualapai Nation is suing the Bureau of Land Management over its approval of a lithium exploration project. The lawsuit accuses the federal agency of failing to properly evaluate the project’s impacts on local water wells and springs.

In the U.K., police arrested 22 people over a planned “climate camp” near the Drax power station in North Yorkshire. It’s the latest example of U.K. authorities’ intensifying criminalization of climate activism, including before any actions even take place.
