The next stage of the energy transition must address developing countries

Our view

  • To reach net zero, we need to develop renewable energy projects on a large scale and fast in developing countries, where two-thirds of emissions are projected.

  • The problem is that renewables projects are often stopped or delayed because of a lack of social buy-in and environmental licence.

  • Many developing regions have experienced exploitation, resource extraction, or neglect under colonial or corporate systems.
