Who should attend?
- Energy is a critical driver of economic growth, but energy projects have had mixed impacts on the countries where these are carried out. They have been accused of contributing to corruption and not having enough positive impact for the populations of the areas of operation. They have been blamed as well for having a negative impact on their immediate environment (e.g. deforestation, soil pollution) in addition to contributing to climate change. Renewables projects are also challenged on their environmental and social impact, such as wind or biofuels projects. This training provides participants with an overview of best practices in this area, enabling energy operators to better manage their projects, avoiding controversies and costly delays. It also enables public actors to improve the conditions of access to their resources and to better select their partners.
