Investing in renewable energy to power a just transition: a practical guide for investors

Shutterstock

While the much-needed growth of wind and solar global capacity presents a singular investment opportunity, the renewable energy sector is far from immune to the human rights risks that have historically plagued the fossil fuel and traditional extractive industries.

Investors have the opportunity to influence the development of a renewable energy industry that respects human rights – while simultaneously securing sustainable investments, in addition to benefits for communities and a just transition to clean energy.

Drawing on Resource Centre research, this guide helps investors make better decisions for a fast and fair transition. It sets out the key human rights risks and impacts associated with the renewable energy sector today, particularly to human rights defenders (HRDs) and Indigenous Peoples - most particularly land rights and the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC).

Case studies in this guide demonstrate that when human rights are disregarded, companies and their investors may face significant reputational, legal and financial risks as a result of community conflicts and project delays.

This guide provides action points for investors to:

  • Assess investee company performance on the energy transition through a human rights lens
  • Undertake human rights and environmental due diligence
  • Commit to active ownership, stewardship and engagement strategies.
