Based on the necessity of a global energy transition to renewables and non-fossil energy, this course contemplates all the work taking place worldwide to assess the potential of such a transition. It analyzes why it is politically and economically difficult to leave fossil fuels underground at the fast pace that the climate emergency requires, but it will highlight the action of groups opposing fossil fuel extraction to fight against climate change, pollution of natural resources, deforestation, health damage, and repression via neo-colonialism and environmental racism.

Six experts will unravel current information with facts and study cases from different regions around the world concerning the strategy from a political, economic, and social standpoint.
