Beware Europe’s New Green Colonialism (Brussels)
A delegation of Global South scholars and activists are launching a lobbying and advocacy tour of European capitals to discuss the urgent issue of an ecosocial energy transition.
About the event
A delegation of Global South scholars and activists are launching a lobbying and advocacy tour of European capitals to discuss the urgent issue of an eco-social energy transition. The seven participants are following up on a global manifesto published this year decrying a new Green colonialism and urging more equitable approaches to achieving a fossil-free future.
The mission of the event is to inject Global South perspectives into current European policy discussions around energy and the environment. Decisions made by European policy makers do not only affect Europe, but also the broader world, climate change knows no borders and neither do emissions caused by industry based in Europe.
