The Need for Community Involvement in Global Decarbonization Efforts
Nafi Chinery, NRGI Africa director, emphasized on the Sheila Khama Extractives Podcast that meaningful community engagement is crucial for successful decarbonization strategies.
She said:
"Governments across Africa must prioritize and integrate community voices into their energy transition policies. Transparency, accountability, and genuine stakeholder engagement are essential for successful implementation. Without these, there is a significant risk of resistance, economic disruption, and persistent environmental injustice."
