SUMMARY:Climate Justice in the Arab World
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to this afternoon of panel talks at Litteraturhuset as part of Masahat festival for Arab Arts and Culture during 20-25 September. The panel talks will discuss the fight for climate justice in the Arab world and its intersection with anti-colonialism and anti-autocracy struggles. The opening remarks will be given by Andrea Nightingale followed by presentations by architect and researcher Areej Ashhab (Palestine) and journalist Aïda Delpuech (Tunisia). Concluding remarks will be given by professor of anthropology Ghassan Hage. \nLanguage: English \nProgram 19.00-20.30:\n\nOpening remarks by Andrea Nightingale.\nPanel talks: Invading Nature: Trees as colonial agents in Palestine by Areej Ashhab; Economies of Extraction: Critical reflections on energy transition in North Africa by Aïda Delpuech.\nConcluding remarks: Anti-colonialism and Anti-autocracy in the age of the Anthropocene by Ghassan Hage.\nDiscussion and Q&A\n\nSynopses\nAnti-colonialism and Anti-autocracy in the age of the Anthropocene\nIt is sometimes assumed that colonialism and autocracy in the Arab world are primarily responsible for the extreme ecological degradation of the area\, and as such\, that the struggle against them is in itself an ecological struggle. In this presentation I want to suggest that\, just as we cannot take for granted that resistance to colonialism and autocracy are free from sexism or racism\, we cannot take for granted that such a resistance is ecologically friendly. Instead\, oppositional politics needs to be subjected to a continual work of critical reflexivity that concerns the way the ecological crisis calls for a reconsideration of the way resistance is conceived and waged? \nEconomies of Extraction: Critical reflections on energy transition in North Africa\nThis talk will address the concept of «just transition» while critically exploring the local realities of renewable energy projects in North Africa. By bringing concrete examples from recent projects implemented by the EU as well as Norwegian businesses in North Africa\, this talk will ask who is benefiting from these projects? and what are their true environmental\, sustainable and social costs and values? \nInvading Nature: Trees as colonial agents in Palestine\nThis talk unravels the politics of land in Palestine through stories of pine trees. the Jewish National Fund planted large tract of pine forests to colonise Palestinian land\, cover the remains of the destroyed Palestinian villages in the 1948 Nakba and materialise biblical imaginaries of the “Holy Land” as populated with Europeanised forests. These trees are very susceptible to wildfires and their seeds spread and disturb the natural and cultural landscapes in Palestine. This presentation examines how nature has been weaponised to fulfil the goals of the settler-colonial project in Palestine throughout the years.

SUMMARY:The Challenge of Just Environmental Transitions in the Middle East and North Africa
DESCRIPTION:How do the environmental and climate crises intersect with social inequality in the Middle East and North Africa? How do we root environmental and climate debates within the region in social justice and equity concerns? \nThe concept of Just Transition has become a keystone of the post-Paris Climate Agreement policy world\, while many activists and frontline communities claim that it has lost its original meaning. With the next two Conference of Parties (COP) meetings taking place in the MENA – COP27 in Egypt and COP28 in the UAE – how do global debates over Just Environmental Transitions play in the region? What do just transitions in energy\, food systems\, and water management mean for populations across the region? And is this an adequate framework for organizing ecological solidarity and activism in MENA? \nNorwegian private sector investments are part of the equation. How does Norwegian investors\, with their expressed commitments to social justice\, relate to the just transitions agenda when engaging in the region? \nThe event will be moderated by Pinar Tank\, Senior Researcher with the PRIO Middle East Centre. \nSpeaker\nSarine Karajerjian is Program Director of the Environmental Politics program at the Arab Reform Initiative (ARI). Prior to working at ARI\, she worked for 15 years at the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University Beirut (AUB). Her previous work covered strategic management\, fundraising and outreach\, and partnerships and grants management.  She is currently pursuing a PhD in Anthropology at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris and writing her dissertation on the exile and trauma of Syrian refugee women in Beirut. She holds a Masters’ degree in Environmental Policy Planning and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health from AUB. \nCommentator\nAïda Delpuech is an independent journalist currently based in Tunis. Passionate about ecology\, she mostly covers and investigates themes related to the biodiversity\, energy transition\, agriculture\, pollution\, and agri-food in the Mediterranean. She is also the North Africa coordinator for the Environmental Investigative Forum. \nMidEast Breakfast\nThe PRIO Middle East Centre hosts a series of breakfast seminars\, catering to Oslo’s diverse community of MidEast watchers. Fore more info\, check PRIO website: https://www.prio.org/events/8968 \nThis event is a collaboration between the PRIO Middle East Centre and Masahat festival for Arab Arts and Culture\, which is hosting a number of event at different venues in Oslo during the week 20-25 September.
