Lithium and Water: Why Hydrological Limits Will Define a Just Energy Transition

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
Lithium extraction is reframed as a water governance challenge rather than solely a mining issue. Water‐Bounded Lithium Governance places hydrological limits at the center of decision‐making, offering a new pathway to reconcile critical mineral supply with environmental integrity, indigenous rights, and a just energy transition.
