As the climate catastrophe is rapidly unfolding, more and more people are getting organised to demand climate justice and build energy democracies. These movements sometimes but not always overlap, even though they have much in common: to turn the fight against corporate, extractive powers into just transition pathways towards pro-public energy systems that are democratic, socially just and generative.
How can we build a stronger movement for climate justice ánd energy democracy, tackling the climate crisis, as it intersects with accelerating social, economic and political crises? What can we bring to and learn from each other? What challenges have we experienced and/or must we anticipate? And what needs to be done towards COP26 and in the following years of this very decisive decade?
Speakers:
Asad Rehman - (COP26 coalition and War on Want)
Lala Peñaranda - (Trade Unions for Energy Democracy, Colombia)
Jaron Browne - (Grassroots Global Justice Alliance)
Marie-Sol Reindl - (Code Rood and Future Beyond Shall, Netherlands)
Moderators:
Susann Scherbarth, Friends of the Earth Europe
Lavinia Steinfort, The Transnational Institute
This webinar was organised by the Transnational Institute and Friends of the Earth Europe for the international Energy Democracy alliance, connecting 400 groups and persons from across the world to exchange via a mailing list, website and occasional webinars key developments and materials to advance the struggle for a just transition towards energy democracy.
