6th Plenary session- Tackling corruption challenges for a just transition: implications for renewable energy

We are excited to announce the public launch of the Basel Institute on Governance working paper "Good governance and the just transition: implications for renewable energy companies", in collaboration with the Trust, Accountability and Inclusion Collaborative (TAI).

The plenary session will include the presentation of the main findings from an independent project by Mark Robinson, Executive Director of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and Maja de Vibe, Senior Vice President Sustainability, Governance and Compliance at Statkraft.

Following the presentation, join us for a dynamic panel discussion featuring a diverse group of experts:

1. Luca Maiotti, Policy Analyst, OECD
2. Irene Lucius, Regional Conservation Director, WWF Central and Eastern Europe
3. Alexia Ruvoletto, Head of Secretariat, Solar Stewardship Initiative

Together, the panellists will explore the challenges faced by civil society and the private sector in managing corruption risks within renewable energy projects. The discussion will also draw parallels with other sectors and offer practical solutions to enhance transparency, strengthen governance, and ensure accountability.

This session promises valuable insights on fostering a just and sustainable transition. Ensuring a just energy transition is crucial to gaining public trust and support, which is essential for the success of the green transition and achieving the COP28 target of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030.
