Noura Wahby and I are collecting experiences from diverse contexts that will be woven together to re-construct desert imaginaries and socioecological energy transitions. The panel will lay the foundation of a collective article in the Journal of Political Ecology.

Deserts, perceived as "empty" spaces, become prime locations for large-scale solar and wind projects, raising critical questions about water use, land governance, indigenous and more-than-human rights. This panel examines the energy-water nexus in energy transition projects across desert regions.

Great reporting!

Do have a look and and if you would like to, do try playing these games. The game material is #openaccess : zenodo.org/records/1489...

Through role-playing, we challenge human-centered planning, make the presence of more-than-human voices audible and visible and finally, hope to leave our players with #creativity and #courage to question established planning norms.

We will discuss:
⚡ How green energy projects reproduce extractive logics
🌐 The geopolitical dynamics shaping these frontiers
🛡️ The resistance of communities on the ground and their pluriversal approaches
