Abstract

Power struggles for resources are playing an increasingly crucial role behind the scenes, often covered by diplomacy or goodwill rhetoric. The question after the Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) of December 2015 is: Will new global civil society movements play a post-traditional and mediating role between the classical resource-securing strategies of the great powers and thus pave the way towards more connected, integrated and sustainable futures in the resource sector? What role will in particular – as a potential forerunner of others – play the global “Keep it in the Ground” Initiative, which aims at leaving the resources in the ground instead of using them? This essay gives an overview of the current situation and offers an alternative way forward.
