Hybrid Report Launch: The Controversy of Green Energy: Unmasking Southern Africa’s Critical Mineral

Join us for the public launch of our new report, The Controversy of Green Energy: Unmasking Southern Africa’s Critical Mineral Sacrifice Zones.

Produced by the Alternative Information and Development Centre (AIDC) in collaboration with regional partners, this report exposes the hidden costs of the global green energy transition, revealing how critical mineral extraction is reshaping southern Africa into a patchwork of sacrifice zones. Drawing on field-based and desktop research, it interrogates green colonialism and highlights the lived realities of frontline communities resisting displacement, water grabs, and ecological harm in the name of the so-called ‘just’ energy transition. This event offers a vital opportunity to reflect, connect, and strategise across movements.
