The Institute of Political Science (IfP) at Eberhard Karls University Tübingen invites you to join this session of the IfP's Institutskolloqium series for a talk by Irene Weipert-Fenner, Senior Researcher at PRIF.
Against the backdrop of the Green Deal and the energy crisis triggered by Russia’s war in Ukraine, the EU has accelerated an ambitious transition toward renewable energy, including the import of green hydrogen from North Africa. While often framed as a win-win situation, civil society actors and scholars criticize these developments as "green extractivism" and "green colonialism."
Using Tunisia as a case study, Irene Weipert-Fenner will propose a comprehensive analysis to examine how green hydrogen economies interact with and reshape pre-existing political-economic conflicts, helping to develop more socially just, inclusive, and peaceful strategies for climate action.
When: July 1, 2026, 16:15 p.m.
Where: Institute of Political Science, Room 124, Melanchthonstr. 36, 72074 Tübingen or online via Zoom.
