What Role do the EU’s Green Policies Play in Supporting a Just Energy Transition in MENA?

The webinar aims to initiate a regional dialogue with European Union representatives, MENA scholars, and energy advocates to understand the EU energy green policies vis-à-vis the MENA region, as well as understand the complexities and opportunities of such a transition and its impact on local communities and those who will be affected the most by this transition. This webinar is particularly pertinent in the context of the EU’s Green Deal and its external dimensions, underscoring the importance of collaborative efforts to realise a sustainable and just energy future. The webinar would focus on some of the lessons learned from existing projects but also reflect on some positive experiences of renewable energy projects that should be replicated. The webinar would address a) the identification of the pathways for a just transition in MENA, emphasising the socio-economic impacts on local communities and governance structures, b) examine the role of the EU in facilitating the energy transition through its Green Deal, bilateral agreements, and influence with the international communities, c) and create a space between EU representatives and civil society representatives to engage on questions of energy transition in the MENA region, and the impacts of EU’s policies and investments for energy projects in the MENA region.
