Inclusion and Just Transition over Business as Usual in the Energy Shift
The world’s transition minerals and renewable energy potential lies on Indigenous lands. Historically, mining and many large-scale development projects, including renewable energy projects had devastating effects on their lands and have resulted in numerous human rights violations.
Objectives
Highlight the specific concerns of Indigenous women and youth on renewable energy projects and mining of critical minerals implemented in their territories including recommendations for a truly Just Energy Transition
Provide a space for exchange among Indigenous women and youth, and support groups to strengthen their solidarity and plan of action for a rights based transition to renewable energy that takes into consideration their specific needs and priorities
Engage with UN agencies, private sector, and states for a Just Energy Transition for Indigenous Peoples in the region
This conference is a follow-through activity of the Conference on Indigenous Peoples and the Just Transition held in New York, USA, last 12-14 April 2024, where 87 Indigenous Peoples representatives from all over the world convened to address the pressing issues surrounding the transition to renewable energy and its impacts on Indigenous Peoples’ communities.
