Abstract
This paper has been developed jointly by members of the Coalition’s Working Group on Empowering People and Communities, and the Coalition Linking Energy and Nature for Action (CLEANaction). These groups bring together a diverse range of stakeholders united by the goal of accelerating the energy transition in a just and inclusive way with nature considerations at its heart. This paper proposes the guiding principles to develop solar and wind energy and associated infrastructure in line with ecosystem conservation and restoration.
