has been profoundly affected by the proximity of the internationally-owned
Cerrejón mine, the largest mining operation in Colombia and one of the
world’s largest open-pit coal mines. All of the coal from Cerrejón is
exported, and it is sent to many parts of the world including Massachusetts.
Jairo Fuentes Epiayu will discuss the effects of large scale mining on an
impoverished and isolated region of Colombia in the context of international
investment, Indigenous and human rights, and the hidden costs of coal power
generation. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
