🌏 "A truly just energy transition cannot be measured only by how much renewable energy or transition minerals are produced."- @shakya_prbn, AIPNEE Convenor New op-ed in @TheJakartaPost on why the Just Transition needs FPIC and the right to say "no" ✊🏽 thejakartapost.com/opinion/2…

Thanks to all who joined "Towards a Rights-Respecting #EnergyTransition" at the UN RBHR Forum! Highlight from AIPNEE Convenor @shakya_prbn:"A just energy transition must also be measured by whether #IndigenousPeoples' rights & #FPIC are respected across the mineral supply chain"

Thank you to everyone who joined our co-organized session at the UN Responsible Business & #HumanRights Forum. Key takeaway from AIPNEE Convenor @shakya_prbn: A just energy transition must be Indigenous-led, FPIC, with community-led solutions and direct climate finance.
