Lithium is a key element in the new energy paradigm. In the Lithium Triangle countries, extractive pressure has increased considerably in the last decade. Lithium from salt flat mines could become a development driver for the region, but what is the real impact of the activity? Are all the cards on the table? To explore these questions, this article analyses the transparency and availability of environmental information on lithium mining from the framework of environmental governance. It finds that the current forms of information dissemination show situations of inequality, invalidating a fair and equitable transition to electromobility.
