Webinar on The Geopolitics of Green Colonialism: Global Justice and Ecosocial Transitions

As the ecological and climate crisis deepens, the Global North has put forward (false) solutions such as renewable energy, electric cars, carbon trading, and green hydrogen. But beneath this sustainability facade lies a stark reality: new environmental injustices and the rise of green colonialism. The push for “green growth” and clean energy depends on the large-scale extraction of strategic minerals from the Global South, often at the expense of communities and ecosystems. This geopolitically driven transition not only exploits territories but also erases truly sustainable alternatives to living in harmony with the planet.

This webinar, featuring Miriam Lang, Mary Ann Manahan, and Brendo Bringel, and hosted by the Global Tapestry of Alternatives, analyzes the different facets of green colonialism and the commoditization of environmental politics and explores the urgent need for global justice and ecosocial transitions.
