Approval of geothermal project without community consent violates local rights and risks environmental harm. | The project advances clean energy goals (SDG 7, 13) but risks undermining local environmental integrity and indigenous rights (SDG 15, 16, UNDRIP). The absence of community consultation exacerbates ethical concerns, creating a net negative balance despite potential long-term climate benefits.
