Motion: “This House Believes that planning Africa’s long-term energy future around new fossil fuel investments constitutes a net negative economic and strategic decision.”

Are we fueling the future or the fire?
Ethiopia stands at a pivotal junction. As the global energy landscape shifts, the choice between traditional fossil fuels and a leapfrogged green transition is no longer just an environmental debate—it is a high-stakes economic gamble.
Eco-Justice Ethiopia, in partnership with the Enfluencers and other partner organizations, invites you to an intellectual showdown. We are bringing together leading economists, policy experts, and youth visionaries to dissect the "Cost-Benefit" of fossil fuel infrastructure.
Join us to challenge the status quo, bridge the gap between policy and grassroots justice, and help shape Ethiopia’s stance on the global stage.
