Noura Wahby and I are collecting experiences from diverse contexts that will be woven together to re-construct desert imaginaries and socioecological energy transitions. The panel will lay the foundation of a collective article in the Journal of Political Ecology.

Deserts, perceived as "empty" spaces, become prime locations for large-scale solar and wind projects, raising critical questions about water use, land governance, indigenous and more-than-human rights. This panel examines the energy-water nexus in energy transition projects across desert regions.

A lot has been said about #Ladakh and Ladakhis in the last few days. For those who know the region and it's people understand the demand for autonomy. For others, @ashishkothari.bsky.social and I provide a glimpse of how Ladakh's demand for autonomy is tightly linked to its ecology and energy future

Through role-playing, we challenge human-centered planning, make the presence of more-than-human voices audible and visible and finally, hope to leave our players with #creativity and #courage to question established planning norms.

Join us on June 19th for a vital conversation on the Geopolitics of Green Colonialism. Hosted by the Global Tapestry of Alternatives, we explore how the energy transition is impacting so-called โ€œcold regionsโ€ like the Arctic and Ladakh (India) โ€” turning them into emerging green sacrifice zones.

Our very timely paper is a pushback in the face of backlash against both #energy #transitions as well as #equity #diversity and #inclusion on the global stage. We advocate for meaningful engagement with #intersectional inequality to transform the energy system. Do check it out!
