In the rush for renewable energy, what are the impacts on Indigenous peoples?
In this episode, IHRB’s Frances House sits down with two human rights defenders, Robie Halip from the Philippines and Prabindra Shakya from Nepal. Robie is the coordinator of The Indigenous Peoples Major Group for Sustainable Development. Prabin is convenor of Asia Indigenous Peoples Network in Extractive Industries and Energy and also the founder of the Community Empowerment and Social Justice Network in Nepal.
Robie and Prabin share examples of renewable energy projects from Norway to Nepal and how Indigenous people have been directly affected. You’ll also learn how the use of human rights conventions and concepts like Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) can protect rights through better engagement and partnerships between companies and Indigenous people, which are essential to help minimise social resistance to the green energy transition.
