Community Ownership of Renewable Energy: How it Works in Nine Countries

The challenges and opportunities for local and Indigenous ownership of renewable energy are manifold.

But if we are to avoid the situation that arose with local communities being marginalised and excluded from the benefits of locally sourced fossil fuels, we must ensure a just transition into the low carbon economy.

This means giving agency to local and Indigenous communities - both through Free, Prior and Informed Consent, and through financial equity and partnership.

Here we spotlight the issue of Indigenous and local community partnership in renewable energy in nine countries (Canada, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, US).

Published in the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) in 2023. The spotlights were prepared by students on the 2022 CEMS Academic Placement programme.
