From 29-30 November 2013<\/b> AfricAvenir<\/b>, in cooperation with PowerShift e.V. <\/b>invites you to its conference<\/b> on the topic \u201cParadoxes of Sustainability \u2013 How to realize a global and equitable energy transition\u201d<\/b>. nAllan Kalangi<\/b>, Manager of the Sustainability School Programme at the National Association of Professional Environmentalists (NAPE) and Alpha O. Kaloga<\/b> (Germanwatch) will discuss with Sebastian R\u00f6tters<\/b> (PowerShift e.V.) and Dr. Stefan Taschner<\/b> (Berlin Roundtable on Energy \u201cBerliner Energietisch\u201d) the possibilities of networking and exchange between activists in the energy policy sector in Berlin and Germany with initiatives in Africa: What links the Berlin Roundtable on Energy (\u201cBerliner Energietisch\u201d) to a geothermal power project in Western Uganda? How do African activists react to the ongoing sellout of their region through coal, gas and uranium exploitation? Is decentralized energy supply a guarantee for a successful energy transition? How can social movements and fights for energy and climate justice in the global South and North learn from each other and exchange their experiences?nIn his keynote speech, Kalangi <\/b>will discuss the question of \u201eSustainable Development\u201c from an African perspective. Based on his work with different communities in Uganda he will present the energy supply system in Uganda and its challenges caused by climate change and lack of access to (clean) energy. He discusses the relation between the state\u00b4s energy policy to promote renewable energies like for example in the geothermal project in Katwe (Western Uganda) and civil society\u00b4s initiatives. How does the Ugandan civil society define \u201csustainable development\u201d and energy supply? How can one reconcile sustainable development with the ongoing plans of East African governments to invest in oil-, gas- and uranium exploitation? nAfter the discussions and conferences on the question \u201eHow socially equitable are `green` technologies really?\u201d since 2012, this closing conference of the project \u201cParadoxes of Sustainability\u201d will present the recommendations for action developed throughout the project as well as already give an outlook on the discussion about sustainable development in the discussion about the post-2015 Agenda.nIn Berlin, the referendum to create a municipal energy supplier unfortunately just failed. However, the discussion about sustainable development stresses clearly that it is not only the energy supply in the global South which has to be \u201cdeveloped\u201d, but that we need worldwide transformation processes. What can Berlin learn from activists from Africa and how could we strengthen common positions?n__________________________<\/p>\n
