Centre of African studies conference 2025

Description

The ongoing calls for urgent action to mitigate the growing scourge of climate change by transitioning away from fossil fuels are often met with troubling uncertainties about the fate of costly commercial ventures in the petroleum industry, risks to sustainable livelihood bundles, precarious patterns of human mobilities and displacement, and potential violent flashpoints over distributional contentions in multi-sited domains of (post)carbon development. The conference brings together scholars and active researchers who are interested in the socio-technical and political entanglements shaping sustainable energy transitions in Africa. It aims to specifically draw from empirically grounded and theoretical introspections about an African perspective on the global energy transition drive and climate change.
