NO NEW OIL - OIL, WAR AND CLIMATE CHANGE: DISMANTLING THE OIL ECONOMY.
LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS. SATURDAY 11TH OCTOBER
Following the invasion of Iraq and an unprecedented heat wave in Europe,
this gathering will expose the connections between oil, war, and climate
change. It brings together experienced campaigners from across the
environmental, peace and social justice movements to share strategies and
develop proposal s for new campaigns. The day will combine presentations,
workshops, slides, slides and specially commissioned video.
MORNING PRESENTATIONS
A series of short presentations accompanied by specially commissioned
videos.
THE MAIN PLAYERS AND THE NEW OIL FRONTIER
James Marriott and Greg Muttitt from Platform UK present a multi-media tour
of the main companies, where they are operating and where they are
expanding- and an overview of how this relates to conflict zones and
countries with repressive regimes.
EXPOSING THE ROLE OF OIL IN THE WAR IN IRAQ
Steve Kretzmann of Sustainable Energy and Economy Network explores the
links between oil companies, the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. He
looks ahead at the frontier for new oil and the potential for new conflicts.
FINANCING NEW OIL
Nicholas Hildyard of The Corner House exposes the sources of private and
public investment in new oil development, with a particular focus on export
credit agencies and the multi-lateral finance institutions.
THE LINKS BETWEEN EXXON, RIGHT WING THINK TANKS, CLIMATE SKEPTICS AND THE
BUSH ADMINISTRATION
Cindy Baxter, coordinator of the Stop Esso Coalition, reveals a complex web
of influence, patronage and corruption.
TEN YEARS OF RESISTANCE TO NEW OIL– WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
Andy Rowell, researcher, journalist and author, evaluates the ten years of
oil campaigns since the execution of Ken Saro Wiwa; the successes and the
lost opportunities.
CLIMATE CHANGE- THE WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION
George Marshall from Rising Tide presents the case for regarding climate
change as a new tool for oppression and examines the climate implications of
exploiting the remaining undeveloped oil resources.
LUNCH BREAK AND OPEN FORUM
During the lunch break, the Open Forum is a chance to meet campaigners from
environment, development and peace groups, and find out more about their
work.
AFTERNOON WORKSHOPS
People can attend two of the following workshops as all workshops will be
repeated:
Dismantling the oil industry – looking at the web of oil industries from a
UK perspective, discussing the social justice issues of dismantling the
industry, and identifying campaign opportunities and targets.
Causes and impacts of climate change – author and journalist Mark Lynas
personal experiences and slides of the impacts of climate change around the
world.
Baku-Ceyhan Campaign – the BP pipeline through Azerbaijan, Georgia, and
Turkey is a case study in the environmental and social impacts of large oil
and gas projects. The resistance to public funding for the pipeline has
encouraged one of the largest oil campaigns seen in the UK...and it needs yo
ur support.
Campaigning Against New Oil - A panel of campaigners draws together the
strands of the last decade of campaigning on oil, climate change and fossil
fuel frontiers. What lessons have we learnt? How can we take this forward?
Resistance and Solidarity – A presentation of case studies from around the
world where oil has been a catalyst for conflict including Colombia, West
Papua, Nigeria, Chad/Cameroon, Baku-Ceyhan, Burma and Tibet. The panel
discussion asks how can we show solidarity and effectively support struggles
from the UK?
FINAL PLENARY- PROPOSALS FOR NEW CAMPAIGNS
The final session brings together the discussions from the workshops,
contains short presentations on campaigns and activities and invites people
to support the growing movement against the expansion of oil and gas
production.
