Description
As societies accelerate decarbonisation, energy transition is often framed as a story of progress and sustainability. But what ethical tensions, power asymmetries, and extractive realities hide behind this narrative?The LOST Tech–Law–Planet Seminar Series invites you to a critical conversation on the governance of energy transitions—examining who benefits, who bears the costs, and how law and policy shape emerging energy futures.
🎙️ Speakers
Dr Sean Field (University of St Andrews)
The ethical complexities of energy transition and its governance

Prof René Urueña (René U.) Universidad de los Andes)
Extractive Regionalism? Venezuela and the Legal Architecture of a Climate Era Intervention
A legal‑geopolitical analysis of climate‑era intervention, sovereignty, and extractive rents in the Americas.
Together, these talks open a critical space to rethink the ethical, legal, and political foundations of contemporary energy governance—and the kinds of futures they produce.
