Mohammed Usrof, Red Natural History Fellow
Mohammed is a Palestinian researcher and organiser working on the political economy of energy, climate violence, and decolonial environmental thought. He is the Founder and Executive Director of the Palestinian Institute for Climate Strategy, a Palestinian-led research and advocacy organisation advancing analysis on energy systems, militarism, and uneven development under occupation. His work examines how infrastructures such as fuel supply chains, grids, ports, and extractive industries function as technologies of power, shaping vulnerability, displacement, and resistance in Palestine and the wider Middle East. Across his research and organising, Mohammed bridges political-economic analysis with movement strategy, challenging technocratic climate solutions and centring justice, repair, and material accountability in contexts of war and ecological crisis.
