Join us for an evening of conversation and resistance with activists, researchers, and journalists working at the frontlines of so-called “green” hydrogen projects. We are diving into what green colonialism really means—and how it’s playing out in places like Namibia, Tunisia, and Spain.What happens when Europe’s push for green energy fuels new forms of extraction in the Global South? What does resistance look like on the ground—and how can those of us in Northern Europe stand in meaningful solidarity? Speakers from the Decolonial Center, the Nama Traditional Leaders Association, the Debt Observatory of Globalisation (ODG), and an independent journalist reporting on Tunisia’s hydrogen plans share insights, experiences, and strategies for resisting these harmful projects. It’s a space for listening, connecting, and imagining energy futures that are truly decolonial and rooted in global justice.
