Indonesia’s risky gamble with sea sand exports
Restarting exports to neighbouring countries could fuel ecological devastation, but a sustainable approach to sand dredging may be possible.
China’s effort to build large solar power 'bases' in and around the desert is a major part of its current renewable plan.
Fisherwomen on the north coast of Java Island are pushing back against plans to dredge sea sand for export, saying they fear it will worsen coastal erosion and harm marine ecosystems.
The next 10 years have been designated the decade to combat sand and dust storms, which are becoming more frequent due to climate change. Storms kill people prematurely and reduce the efficiency of solar panels, slowing the energy transition.
