 "Brazil´s Mining Catastrophes in a Global Context", a panel series.

 What happens when millions of cubic tons of mining waste engulf entire communities and ecosystems? You are invited to join the Harvard Rockefeller Center for a panel series that will focus on Brazil's worst environmental and humanitarian disasters, both resulting from the collapses of mining tailings dams: [the Samarco-operated Fundão dam in 2015](https://harvard.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ccd8630468f332892f78b128e&id=0fa17881bf&e=d1e3754996) and [Vale's Córrego do Feijão dam in 2019](https://harvard.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ccd8630468f332892f78b128e&id=9497a59498&e=d1e3754996), located in the state of Minas Gerais. These disasters aren't just history – they're ongoing struggles for communities in Brazil. With Minas Gerais facing numerous high-risk dams, the fight for justice and safety continues. Cases from other countries dealing with the harms of predatory extractivism will provide a wider view of a global issue, beyond Brazil.
