The buzzword “energy security” has in recent years become an integral part of the European political discourse both in Brussels and on the national level. Energy security has been used to justify a number of destructive activities like enormous transnational pipelines, coal extraction, and construction of nuclear power plants. Energy security has also subordinated the policies of sovereign countries in its drive to grab more energy for Europe, while at the same time has hindered the development of sustainable energy policies and a robust development agenda at home in Europe. On May 24 and 25 in Warsaw, the workshop and conference will explore avenues for cooperation among environmental and development NGOs to join forces in confronting this dangerous trope from spiraling any further out of control. Organisers are the Polish Green Network, CEE Bankwatch Network, Polish Climate Coalition and the Heinrich Böll Foundation.
