The People’s Court: Amplifying Voices in the Energy Transition
The People’s Court, part of the Alternative Mining Indaba, amplifies the voices of communities most impacted by the energy transition. It highlights extractive industries’ human and environmental costs while demanding accountability for sustainable practices. Through testimonials, expert insights, and debates, the forum empowers marginalised groups to share grievances and propose solutions, promoting justice-centered approaches to energy transition. By focusing on lived experiences, the Court fosters collaboration for equitable resource distribution, renewable energy adoption, and a just, sustainable future.
