The KJ Show: Episode 81: Green Colonialism
Every week, I host 'The KJ Show,' which offers a mix of breaking news and practical advice on how the energy industry affects the consumer. During this fast-paced show, I combine weekly energy updates with conversations with leaders in the energy efficiency community.
After each show, I'll share it here with the Energy Central Community in case you were unable to join me live.
The KJ Show #81 - Green Colonialism
As nations struggle to meet their climate pledges, an ugly truth has emerged. Too many renewable energy projects designed to reduce dependence on fossil fuels come at the expense of indigenous peoples. These groups manage more than one quarter of the world's land surface, yet they are rarely involved in conservation projects.
Even more alarming, their rights curtailed in favor of industries who deforest land and otherwise harm the environment. Indigenous communities also regularly have their rights stripped by conservation organizations who are meant to be stewards of the environment. This is called "green colonialism" creating another cruel irony in the quest for clean, green energy.
On today's show, Dr. Katherine Johnson discusses the inequities associated with the West's emphasis on green energy at the expense of indigenous people's traditional rights.
