Europe wants to become independent from fossil fuels and is feverishly searching for new sources of green energy. This quest is leading not only to wind farms and solar panels
within the EU, but also to major investments beyond European borders, such as in North Africa.
Yet behind the promise of green progress lies a shadow side. How sustainable is an energy policy that depends on countries where human rights are under pressure and that can hardly meet their own energy needs? And how does the local population actually view the EU’s role? Could this be a new form of neocolonialism?
Speakers: Ghada Nasri (Assistent professor at the Higher Institute of Technological Studies (ISET) of Tozeur, Tunisia), Fatima zahra Tichoua (Environmental advocate and member of the Political Bureau of the Green Party of Morocco) & Catarina Vieira (Member European Parliament GreensEFA).
