“Institutional reforms must recognize that African Institutions must recognize that Africa’s transition is based on:

🟢Energy Access Expansion
🟢Energy Sovereignty
🟢Industrialization and
🟢Job Creation

#DaretoShare #JustTransitions #Utrechtuni #climateaction

[UNU-INRA @UNUINRA]

Legal frameworks must embed distributive justice(who gains &
who loses),procedural justice (who decides & participates),& restorative justice(how past harms are acknowledged & remedied)so that transitions become more inclusive, equitable,resilient & legitimate.

#DaretoShare

[UNU-INRA @UNUINRA]

Justice in the energy transition requires redistributing risks,opportunities & decision-making power across
generations,genders,social classes/geographies.

Our presenters & panelists have been providing substantive insights on Equity, Law,Power & transitioning➡️a green economy.

[UNU-INRA @UNUINRA]

Natural Resource management will be sustainable,when community members & leaders are equipped with the right knowledge & skills to manage their natural resources.

Also key,is the need for promulgating the laws that govern the natural resources in these communities.
