Right Energy Partnership with Indigenous Peoples

Description:

Indigenous Peoples are often left behind in national and global just transition dialogues, despite being among the most affected by the climate crisis. Too often, energy transition plans exclude Indigenous voices and overlook the solutions already being built within communities. Yet Indigenous Peoples are now speaking up to show that they are not only protectors of lands and territories but also innovators of real climate solutions. Through Indigenous-led renewable energy systems—ranging from solar based solutions to community-owned micro-hydropower—Indigenous communities are advancing clean energy access, strengthening self-determination, and protecting ecosystems. These initiatives demonstrate that just transitions must center Indigenous Peoples. This session, organized by the Right Energy Partnership with Indigenous Peoples (REP), will highlight success stories from different socio-cultural regions while confronting the pressing challenge: how to secure financial and technical support to replicate and scale up these community-driven solutions. By amplifying Indigenous voices and experiences, the event will call on governments, donors, and allies to support rights-based, Indigenous-led pathways for renewable energy and climate justice.
