Great news! Finally, the contributions from the session “Just Transition for Worthy Lives: beyond fossil and green colonialism” organised by the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence are available. The document is part of the publication “Memorie geografiche” edited by the Società di Studi Geografici
The session was proposed and organized by the new Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on Just Fossil Fuel Transition (JFFT). The main objective of the Centre is to act as a critical hub for producing, sharing, and collecting research, analyses, and scientific knowledge in order to support, in the context of the current global climate crisis, the need to rethink existing patterns of natural resource use.
The evident unsustainability of contemporary development models urgently requires the creation of spaces for debate aimed at fostering new strategies of territorial transition, not only in the energy sector, that are inclusive, equitable, just, and peaceful. From this perspective, the Centre collaborates with the global initiative for the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (FFNPT), which is grounded in approaches to climate justice and human rights (Newell and Simms, 2020). Oltre la Globalizzazione 2024 provided an opportunity to reflect on and share these challenges.
