Conference: "Green colonialism: Lithium, the energy transition and its costs"

Jointly organized by KEESA and the Centre for African Studies Basel

Visual Lithium conference

Representatives of the Centre for Natural Resource Governance in Zimbabwe will share their experiences. The conference will address the broader question of the consequences of the energy transition, which, through lithium supply chains, stretch all the way into the daily lives of people in Zimbabwe. Together with speakers from Zimbabwean and European civil society, questions of justice, global inequalities and enduring colonial power structures will be explored. The event aims not only to raise awareness of these pressing issues, but to foster solidarity-based, transnational cooperation among civil society actors.

The conference will be held in English.

Jointly organized by KEESA and the Centre for African Studies Basel.
