Beschreibung

<p><strong>'A thought-provoking book which empowers its readers to think about the problems in systematic, transformative ways' </strong>Fadhel Kaboub, President of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity</p><p><strong>'A much-needed decolonial examination of the climate crisis' </strong>Nnimmo Bassey, author of <em>To Cook a Continent</em></p><p><strong>'Groundbreaking ... offers a timely, acute analysis of what </strong><strong>a just transition might mean for the region' </strong>Laleh Khalili, author of <em>Sinews of War and Trade</em></p><p>The Arab region is a focus of world politics, with authoritarian regimes, significant fossil fuel reserves and histories of colonialism and imperialism. It is also the site of potentially immense green energy resources.</p><p>The writers in this collection explore a region ripe for energy transition, but held back by resource-grabbing and (neo)colonial agendas. They show the importance of fighting for a just energy transition and climate justice - exposing policies and practices that protect global and local political elites, multinational corporations and military regimes.</p><p>Covering a wide range of countries from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia to Egypt, Sudan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Palestine, this book challenges Eurocentrism and highlights instead a class-conscious approach to climate justice that is necessary for our survival.</p><p><strong>Hamza Hamouchene</strong> is a London-based Algerian researcher and activist. He is the North Africa Programme Coordinator at the Transnational Institute (TNI). His books include <em>The Arab Uprisings</em> and <em>The Struggle for Energy Democracy in the Maghreb</em>. He writes for various publications including the <em>Guardian</em>, <em>HuffPost</em> and <em>openDemocracy</em>. <strong>Katie Sandwell</strong> is a Programme Coordinator with the Transnational Institute. She is co-author of <em>From Crisis to Transformation: What is Just Transition?</em></p>
