Latin America Regional Focal Point making waves in radio campaign

The Instituto de Investigaciones en Energía No Convencional (INENCO) is currently carrying out a radio broadcasting campaign to share its research activities from the Latin America Regional Focal Point (RFP). The campaign started in April 2023 and will run for three months until July. So far, INENCO has visited FM La Plaza twice: the first time to provide general information about the Land Matrix Initiative and INENCO, and the second time to share specific information about the current status of large-scale land transactions in the Chaco Salteño and about the mining concessions for lithium in the Puna, both in Argentina. During that visit, the potential impacts of these transactions and the importance of proper and fair planning were discussed.

Importantly, the outreach campaign aims to inform the community about the research carried out at INENCO and its relevance to the region. The campaign also seeks to raise awareness about the importance of proper and fair planning in the use of natural resources and the protection of the environment.

INENCO will continue to visit different media and public spaces to disseminate itsresearch and raise awareness about the importance of responsible management of natural resources in Latin America.
