Documentary abstract — original language

This paper explores the geopolitical dynamics of climate funding, focusing on how programs like the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) perpetuate colonial legacies under the guise of aid. While nations like the United States and the European Union claim to support climate action, their policies often reinforce economic dominance over the Global South through mechanisms such as climate capitalism. Grants and loans, marketed as solutions, frequently bind recipient nations to extractive systems that prioritize market interests over justice. The paper critiques the historical continuity of fossil fuel extraction as a colonial practice that repositions the Global South as a provider of raw materials and cheap labor. It calls for a reevaluation of the Western perspective on energy, which commodifies it and disregards ecological and social costs. Instead, the paper advocates for a decolonial approach that integrates Indigenous values and ecological stewardship. Drawing inspiration from concepts like Buen Vivir, rooted in Quechua traditions, and Arturo Escobar’s “pluriversal” framework, the analysis highlights the potential for alternative paradigms that honor interconnectedness. These perspectives challenge Western dualisms—nature versus culture, emotion versus reason—offering inclusive ways of thinking. The paper also discusses Bolivia’s and Ecuador’s recognition of nature as a legal subject, exemplifying diplomatic cosmologies that align legal systems with ecological values. Ultimately, the decolonial perspective offers a path toward an energy transition that prioritizes justice, sustainability, and the dignity of all life forms
