Unlocking the local benefits of renewable energy

Renewable energy has many benefits - but these are not always appropriately distributed. Some jurisdictions are shifting from voluntary to mandated efforts to ensure renewables developers share benefits equitably with local communities. But how much is ‘enough’? And who pays? This event explores new research from Oxford University on the ways to unlock the local benefits of renewable energy. Join us and our expert panel to discuss new approaches and the lessons we can learn from different geographical contexts.

Sponsored by SSE in collaboration with the Climate Compatible Growth Programme.
