电气化转型将加剧对锂的需求。锂三角区的禀赋非常重要，在资源和可持续性方面对全球供应的期望很高。在本文中，我们调查了环境，社会和治理（ESG）挑战对可持续锂提取未来的影响。我们进行了定性分析，以确定与这些挑战相关的风险的优先顺序，并讨论了它们的相互联系。我们认为，该地区锂开采的可持续发展前景需要政府，行业和社区利益相关者之间持续和知情的对话，以及减少权力和知识不对称的参与性进程。我们提供了一份紧急缓解行动清单，可以帮助实现可持续性。这些措施包括：首先是扩大我们对该地区锂卤水水循环的理解。为此，应在流域范围内提供基线数据和持续监测，开展能力建设以加强机构，改善法规和数据基础设施以提高数据透明度和可获取性。第二是将生物多样性影响纳入现有采矿做法和程序（例如环境影响评估）。我们建议战略性地实施缓解层级和IFC的绩效标准，以避免、减少和抵消锂开采对生态系统服务和至关重要的生物多样性影响的风险。第三，加强社会参与进程，使当地社区成为决策和持续管理的参与者，并监测锂项目。第四是建立一个框架，以支持锂的战略环境和社会评估（SESA）进程，并在锂三角区采取区域方法。
The electrification transition will intensify the demand for lithium. The endowment in the Lithium Triangle is significant, and the expectations for the global supply are high in terms of resources and sustainability. In this paper, we investigate the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges to the future of sustainable lithium extraction. We undertook a qualitative analysis to prioritise the risks associated with these challenges and discussed their interlinkages. We argue that a sustainable perspective for lithium extraction in the region requires continuous and informed dialogue among government, industry and community stakeholders and participatory processes that reduce the asymmetries of power and knowledge. We provide a list of urgent mitigation actions that could assist the move towards sustainability. These include the following. First is expanding our understandings of the water cycle of lithium brines in this region. This should be underpinned by baseline data and ongoing monitoring at the watershed scale, capacity building to strengthen institutions, improved regulations and data infrastructures to promote data transparency and accessibility. Second is integrating biodiversity impacts within existing mining practices and procedures (e.g. Environmental Impact Assessments — EIA). We propose the strategic implementation of the mitigation hierarchy and IFC’s Performance Standards to avoid, reduce and offset the risks of lithium extraction on ecosystem services and critically important biodiversity impacts. Third is strengthening social participatory processes that enable the local communities to become actors in decision-making and the ongoing management and monitoring of lithium projects. Fourth is establishing a framework to support a Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA) process specific to lithium with a regional approach in the Lithium Triangle.
