GAIA & @somoamsterdam.bsky.social's latest paper synthesises insights from our June 2026 virtual learning circle on lithium-ion battery overproduction. The session brought together over 20 participants from industry, research, civil society, labour organisations, and affected community advocates.

🆕️ Global manufacturing capacity for lithium-ion batteries is now estimated at 2-5x greater than current demand. This paper asks: what is driving it, who pays the price, and what can we do about it? Read: www.no-burn.org/resources/di... #renewablesdoneright ##evbatteries @somoamsterdam.bsky.social
