Material Dependencies and the Geopolitics of the Green Transition (Prague, 26 March 2024)

We came to understand that climate change is a political issue. Increasingly, it is also becoming a geopolitical one. The transition away from fossil fuels and the scaling up of green technologies is set to disrupt key global value chains as well as existing power relations. Both direct and indirect impacts of a changing climate will add to the complexity. How can we then best understand the world of tomorrow, using the climate lens? What actors, dynamics and leverage points should we keep an eye on? Opening plenary of a high-level international conference organized by the Association for International Affairs (AMO).
