Overview
JustRE Alliance is undertaking a critical research initiative to strengthen the evidence base for socially inclusive renewable energy (RE) deployment in the Global South. We aim to produce actionable insights on how social opposition affects the pace of renewable energy deployment and to map the current ecosystem of social excellence initiatives in Latin America, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia.
This work is rooted in our end goal: to remove barriers to the rapid and just scaling of renewable energy by fostering social excellence, meaningful community development, active participation and lasting socio-economic benefits.
Objective
This project seeks to assess the impact of social opposition in the pace of deployment of renewable energy to have a compelling evidence base for the need to have social excellence as a top priority in the sector.
Two Complementary Research Tracks:
In addition to desk research, online regional workshops will be held to validate findings and prioritise regional needs. These participatory sessions will bring together diverse voices—from a range of stakeholders, including public sector representatives, private developers, civil society, academia, and affected communities.
Expected Outcomes
Project lead
SEI Latin America will lead the design, coordination, and analysis of the research activities. Regional research and engagement will be conducted in partnership with INSPIRE (Africa) and SEI (Asia). These organisations will contribute local knowledge, contextual analysis, and documentation support.
