Roundtable | The Geopolitics of the Ecological and Energy Transition
Alejandro Buesa Olavarrieta (JRC), Lucrecia Wagner (CONICET), Martijn Vlaskamp (IBEI). Chair: Patricia Godino, deputy editor of El Correo de Andalucía
FROM COMPETITION FOR OIL TO COMPETITION FOR CRITICAL MATERIALS?
The already visible effects of climate change have created a global urgency to leave fossil energy behind and move towards a more sustainable energy model. A consequence of this change is the global competition for the natural resources needed to generate renewable energy such as the manufacturing of solar panels, wind turbines or electric car batteries.
The speakers will analyse how geopolitics defines the ecological and energy transition, as well as explains the effects of this transition both internationally and in the countries of the Global North and South.

Cycle of conferences: The Geopolitics of Big Changes
23 - 30 OCT, 2024
We live in a time of great political, socioeconomic, and technological changes. The ecological and energy transition, the reconfiguration of power in the world, or the impact of new disruptive technologies are some examples of these trends.
The roundtable series, hosted by CaixaForum Sevilla and co-organized with The Social Observatory - "la Caixa" Foundation, wants to provide a geopolitical analysis of these transformations.
