Beyond Oil 2025: Changing Climate Futures

October 22 - 23, 2025

Is society is inevitably moving beyond oil?

We are confronted by ecological degradation, social fragmentation, and climate change. Moving beyond oil entails transforming our听resource-driven economy, consumer society, and relationship with capital.听 This moment of change presents an opportunity to rebuild the economy, society, and the world in more sustainable, convivial and equitable ways. Imagining and enacting alternative climate futures is a key element in moving society beyond oil.听听

Since 2015, the Centre for Climate and Energy Transformation鈥檚 biennial Beyond Oil conference has broadened and pluralised understanding of societal futures beyond oil, championing engagement with climate and energy futures. Research at this critical juncture of transition as we shoot past 1.5藲C global warming is pivotal towards redefining and identifying scope for the change in trajectory we so urgently need. How can society move beyond oil? What futures can be made feasible by whom? What societal, political, and economic effects are held in the grasp of possible climate futures? For our 10th anniversary, we invite social scientists and humanists to jointly grapple with these foundational ethical, ontological, and epistemic questions of our time.听

Join us in a collective reckoning of the present, informed by the past, and intent on shaping transformative climate and energy futures.

Society is inevitably moving beyond oil.听And yet, the ongoing energy crisis demonstrates that transforming to low-carbon听societies is bound up in multiple crises, backlashes and setbacks. Fossil fuel听displacement remains both urgent and challenging. We have the knowledge and听technology needed, and with political and individual will, we can refuel听transformation in a just and inclusive manner. The historical moment also asks us to听rethink, re-evaluate and reflect on existing transformative efforts.听

Join us in a collective reckoning of the present, informed by the past, facing the future.

October 20 - 21, 2021

Society is inevitably moving beyond oil.听However,听ambiguous听targets and听plans for听phasing out听fossil fuels听are听not听sufficient听for solving the climate听emergency.听Climate action听must听be听a听priority听across听all areas of听society.听We must ask ourselves what听it means听to prioritise听climate听action听- for the individual, our economy,听our听political decisions,听and听our听societal institutions.听How can we overcome听simplistic binaries between听welfare听and convenience on听one hand, and听responding to the climate emergency听on the other?听

How do we mobilise the听societal听change听necessary to听make the prioritisation of听climate听action a听reality?

October 16 - 17, 2019

Society is inevitably moving beyond oil. However, current rates of change are well below what is necessary to limit global warming to two degrees or less. Low and zero-carbon pathways will require systematic changes in economies, polities and societies. This will affect areas of the world and portions of populations unevenly. Furthermore, existing inequalities hinder the capacity for urgent change. Sustainable transformation must thus simultaneously address the geophysical and socioeconomic challenges of the early 21^st听肠别苍迟耻谤测.

How can we accelerate transformation?

Beyond Oil 2017: Mobilizing alternative futures

October 25 - 26, 2017

Society is inevitably moving beyond oil. The direction that this transformation will take is still highly uncertain. Transformations to societies beyond oil involve deliberate choices that lead to different outcomes with regards to power, justice, inequality and human-nature relations.

Beyond Oil 2015: Geographies of climate and energy transformations

October 21 - 22, 2015听

Society is inevitably moving beyond oil.听

Are we moving beyond oil? How are climate and energy transformations experienced in different parts of the world? What measures do we need to take to move our energy systems in a renewable direction?
