Material Dependencies and the Geopolitics of the Green Transition

Association for International Affairs (AMO) is organising a one day special event - the aim of which is to":

  • Understanding the unfolding geopolitics of the green transition by focusing on the EU’s existing and projected material dependencies and their possible mitigation.

  • Developing a broader understanding of the issue in the context of resilience, sovereignty and climate security.

  • Rethinking the extractivist logic of the dominant green strategies and policies.

  • Opening a space for a more nuanced policy discussion by bringing together Czech and international experts and policymakers.

Our CEO will join one of the discussions - Aligning climate security with Europe’s economic security objectives

Speakers:

Mats Braun, Director of the Institute of International Relations Prague

Olivia Lazard, Research Fellow at Carnegie Europe

Linda Zeilina-Cross, Founder and CEO of the International Sustainable Finance Centre

Moderation:

Ondřej Kolínský, AMO

Recent geopolitical developments have cast doubt over the complementarity between the EU’s economic and climate security objectives. What key tensions and trade-offs are there between security, justice and competi- tiveness? Practically, what would be the avenues to strengthen the coherence of EU climate diplomacy with its development cooperation or trade policies, having the relevant strategic documents in mind? And what role do raw materials and their value chains play in these considerations?
