The conversation about just energy transition has largely focused on the phasing-out of fossil fuels, resulting in a gap in research and discussion about the impacts and best practices in the phasing-in of utility-scale renewable energy. The book Powerful Futures: Practitioner Insights on the Just Transition to Renewable Energy aims to bridge this important gap by showcasing – from a Global South perspective – promising emerging inclusive practices.
During the webinar, the book authors and guest experts will share key findings from their work, discuss the challenges and opportunities in achieving just energy transitions, and highlight lessons learned from case studies in Latin America, Africa and South and Southeast Asia.
Powerful Futures is a guide by practitioners for practitioners who are committed to ensuring that the global shift to renewable energy is equitable and inclusive. This book is the first product of the Global South Alliance for a Just Transition to Renewable Energy (JustRE). The book gathers the expertise and experiences of organisations and initiatives from Latin America, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia dedicated to championing social responsibility in renewable energy projects.
