New publication by Kristina Dietz: "Más allá del colonialismo verde" (The Geopolitics of Green Colonialism)

Global capitalism and the ruling classes have moved to advocate measures to address the climate and eco-social crisis, but under the label of ecological transition, these "climate solutions" lead to new socio-ecological injustices and green colonialism. Green growth plans with 'clean' energy from the global North require large-scale extraction of strategic minerals from the global South. Against this backdrop, the anthology brings together leading activists and intellectuals from all continents to examine green colonialism and propose alternatives. The book offers a diagnosis of green extractivism and corporate change, analyzes global interdependencies and entanglements and presents different paths to alternatives for development and socio-ecological transformation with global justice.

The anthology is now available in Spanish. For more information: https://libreria.clacso.org/publicacion.php?p=2990&c=0

An English version of the book is expected to be published next March 2024 by Pluto Press under the title: "The Geopolitics of Green Colonialism- Global Justice and Ecosocial Transitions". For more information:  https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745349343/the-geopolitics-of-green-colonialism/
