“Indigenous Peoples are sometimes only brought into discussions when the project has already been designed or is already in implementation... We need to be included at every level.” Melina Tuiravakai emphasized that IPs must be engaged from the earliest stages of planning.

“Expensive” renewable energy projects often overlook the long-term value Indigenous communities are creating. During the #UNPFII side event, Geo Corneby emphasized that Indigenous-led RE initiatives generate benefits far beyond electricity access

“If we only look at Indigenous Peoples through the lens of safeguards, we miss the point.” At the #ADBAM2026 discussions on Indigenous Peoples and the energy transition, Bruce Dunn highlighted the need to move beyond compliance-based approaches…

As governments and institutions push for faster energy transitions, Indigenous leaders continue to remind the world that meaningful progress cannot happen without community inclusion. Watch the stream on YouTube bit.ly/42CGQpI #JustEnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #IndigenousPeoples

"New trade agreements on critical minerals are shaping where extraction happens..." Ms Victorio further emphasized that institutions such as the Asian Development Bank have significant influence in shaping energy transition supply chains through financing, guarantees, and technical support.

Clean energy shouldn't come at the cost of Indigenous Peoples’ rights As the world accelerates toward renewable energy, one question remains How clean is clean energy? 🎥Watch our latest film youtu.be/D2HYsKzUfFs?... #ShortFilm #Documentary #IndigenousPeoples #JustTransitions #JustEnergyTransition

“Green” projects have been imposed in the name of a “just energy transition” without Indigenous Peoples defining what “just” means or which minerals are truly “critical” from their perspective. rightenergypartnership.org/indigenous-w...

Fossil fuels have not and will not deliver development in Africa. Here’s how we know: 600 MILLION Africans STILL lack electricity despite years of fossil fuel extraction. Join us this afternoon as we unpack this at 2pm EAT | 1pm CAT TODAY! zoom.us/webinar/regi...

TONIBUNG's Managing Director Alice Jipius delivering a critical message at ADB Annual Governor's Meeting in Samarkand Among many, she emphasized that Indigenous communities are no longer only advocates or project “beneficiaries” but are involved in every stage.

Energy poverty remains very high in our communities. Even when people are counted as having electricity, reliability and affordability are still in question—100% electrification on paper does not mean clean, reliable and affordable energy in Indigenous territories Robie Halip REP Executive Director

From the Asian Development Bank Annual Governors’ Meeting in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, here are key messages from REP and Asia Indigenous Peoples Network on Extractive Industries and Energy (AIPNEE) co-organized event.

We are going live in about an hour.. from the 59th Asian Development Bank (ADB) Annual Meeting’s Civil Society Program in Samarkand—on-site or online—for our session, “From Policy to Practice: Advancing Indigenous Peoples’ Leadership in the Energy Transition.”

From our 2nd session of the IPREP webinar, a REP initiative, one lesson stood out: The Sintang micro-hydro systems in Indonesia were developed through community initiative. More than 90% were built through swadaya (self-help), supported by gotong royong (collective labor).

The shift to renewable energy is accelerating—but not always equitably. Indigenous Peoples are already leading solutions grounded in their own governance and priorities. The real question is whether systems will adapt to support them. Register: bit.ly/AM59CSP #JustTransition #IndigenousPeoples

#UNPFII25 opened with a clear message: Indigenous Peoples are not beneficiaries—they are leaders, knowledge holders, and custodians of systems the world depends on. Yet their continued exclusion from decision-making and financing is not a gap. It is a systemic failure. #WeAreIndigenous

From policy to practice—what does real inclusion look like? REP joins @adb.org webinar on operationalizing ESF for disadvantaged & vulnerable groups. Our ED, Robeliza Halip, brings Indigenous perspectives on rights, safeguards, & self-determined development 22 Apr, 10–12:00 GMT+8 alturl.com/ucuuy

Who leads the energy transition—and who is left behind? Indigenous Peoples are already delivering renewable energy solutions. Yet barriers remain: limited direct financing, complex systems, and misaligned partnerships. shorturl.at/Dx3G1

At the upcoming ADB Annual Meeting, REP is convening a critical session “From Policy to Practice: Advancing Indigenous Peoples’ Leadership in the Energy Transition.” As we accelerates toward renewable energy, there's a question: Who leads transitions & whose voices are left out? bit.ly/AM59CSP

If the wrong leaders are consulted… then the whole process is compromised. A powerful reminder from Joan Carling, IPRI Executive Director and REP Board Chairperson, on why FPIC must be done right from the very beginning. If you missed the stream, watch it via www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaQE...

#UNPFII25 | Join us for a hybrid side event Indigenous Peoples’ Access to Climate and Development Finance: Status, Challenges, Practices, and Recommendations 📅April 22, 2026 🕰8:00 AM (New York Time) 📍UNDP Headquarters, New York & Online (Hybrid)

Energy transitions are happening across the world.
 But for many Indigenous Peoples, access to reliable, affordable, & clean energy is still out of reach, with real impacts on health, livelihoods, & everyday life. As global conversations continue, a question remains:
Who is leading the transition?

We begin soon, bringing together Indigenous leaders, practitioners, and private sector actors to reflect on how FPIC is being implemented in practice—and what can be strengthened onward 15:00–16:30 (EDT) shorturl.at/bBUUo @oxfamamerica.bsky.social @tallgrassinst.bsky.social @re-course.org & IPRI

A closer look at what energy access data doesn’t always show. REP Board Member Mr Adrian Lasimbang highlighting the gap between reported progress and realities on the ground—where many Indigenous communities remain without access to electricity. Video: TONIBUNG

FPIC is widely recognized in private sector standards. But how is it being implemented in practice? Join the conversation at the #WBGMeetings on April 14 | 15:00–16:30 (EDT) 🌐 www.worldbank.org/en/events/20... @oxfamamerica.bsky.social @re-course.org @tallgrassinst.bsky.social

“When progress is reported [on access to energy], it often overlooks those [Indigenous Peoples] who are still left behind.” A reminder from our board member that many Indigenous communities remain invisible in energy access data—and in climate finance decisions. #JustTransition #IndigenousPeoples

At next week’s #WBGMeetings, join us for a panel on Indigenous Peoples' rights and consent in private sector standards. We'll share lessons, name the gaps, and push for stronger respect for Indigenous Peoples’ consent in business. 📍 14 April 15.00-16.30 in DC 📺️ www.worldbank.org/en/events/20...

Women are not just using renewable energy—they are leading it. In Bardiya, Nepal, Tharu women farmers are using solar irrigation systems to power their farms, reduce costs, and strengthen food security. #WomenInEnergy #Indigenous

#WBGMeetings | REP is co-organizing: “From Policy to Practice: Upholding the Consent of Indigenous Peoples in Private Sector Standards.” With @oxfamamerica.bsky.social, Tallgrass Institute & Recourse, plus IFC & private sector actors. #FPIC #IndigenousRights
