New book examines UPM2 industrial development in Uruguay

The book “Luces y sombras de la puesta en marcha de UPM2” will be presented on November 16 at the Faculty of Social Sciences. The publication offers critical perspectives on the economic, social, territorial, and environmental transformations linked to the installation and operation of UPM2 in Uruguay.

Organized by the Sustainable Development Research Program (PRIDES), the work uses a university training experience to reflect on the opportunities, tensions, and challenges posed by the project regarding development and sustainability. The event aims to foster dialogue between academia and local stakeholders, including civil society groups and researchers focused on the forestry sector and the timber industrial chain.
