What does a just energy transition mean for the Global South?
Description
The Global South is suffering the most from the effects of climate change. At the same time, as cities and regions are catching
up with living standards, there is a great demand to expand (energy)
infrastructure. Affordable and reliable energy is needed for hospitals and schools, for farmers to store their goods, for home cooking etc. This energy needs to come from renewable sources – a transition to clean energy is a no-brainer. It needs to be fair, it needs to be fast, and nobody should be left behind. So how can a just energy transition in the Global South look like?
Lena Dente, Senior Programme Manager of the Energy and Just Development Team, talks to two inspiring Change Makers: Musa
Ibrahim, a youth leader, passionate Environmentalist, Land Hero of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification from Nigeria. And Dipal Barua, a veteran renewable energy advocate from Bangladesh and Member of the World Future Council. They discuss actionable steps and share their perspective on a
just energy transition in the Global South.
