Community opposition to infrastructure and energy projects

Overview

Community groups in Spain and Chile are organizing to oppose large-scale infrastructure and energy developments. In Alfambra, Spain, the association STOP Biogás Alfambra has mobilized residents against a proposed biogas macro-plant, collecting over 600 signatures and planning a march to the site.

In San Pedro de la Paz, Chile, residents and socio-environmental organizations have submitted 460 observations to the Environmental Impact Assessment Service regarding the ‘Av. Costanera Ribera Sur del Río Biobío’ project. Protesters are demanding that the US$ 398.6 million road project be constructed using piles or strictly along the riverbank to protect biodiversity and local safety, rejecting plans that involve river filling.
