Dismantling Green Colonialism - Energy and Climate Justice in the Arab Region

Summary

A collective manifesto for a just energy transition across the Arab region, from Western Sahara to Palestine, where vast fossil reserves, a colonial past and untapped green-energy potential meet severe heat and floods. Eighteen contributors bring class analysis and political economy to its title’s warning, that the green transition could repeat colonial patterns of extraction.

Rationale

It keeps power and class in view, as we try to, because who owns and profits from a system shapes which dispositions come to feel natural.
