Ohne globale ​Gerechtigkeit kein ​Klimaschutz: Wege ​zu einer fairen ​Energiewende

In the organizer's words:

"Climate justice" has become a key term in the critical climate debate in recent years. It refers to the injustice that the causes of the climate crisis are primarily attributable to the rich industrialized countries in the global North, while its effects particularly affect the poor countries in the global South. However, climate justice is also about fundamental questions, such as how poor countries should be supported in adapting to the climate crisis or in building a climate-neutral economy and infrastructure. Or what impact such support would have on the already exacerbated distribution struggles in this country. This and other issues will be discussed at the event, including the example of hydrogen from Namibia. After all, Germany - and therefore Bremen - is dependent on green hydrogen to achieve its climate targets, especially for energy and job-intensive industries such as the steelworks in Gröpelingen. And around half of this in turn has to be imported, including from Namibia, a country that is affected by great poverty and still suffers from the effects of the genocide committed by Germany against the Herero and Nama in 1904.

Our guests:
