NGO Guidelines for Fair Community Benefit Sharing of RES Projects

This project, led by eclareon, focuses on creating NGO guidelines and recommendations to ensure fair community engagement and benefit-sharing in solar, wind, and grid projects. It includes an in-depth report analyzing current European policies, measures, and practices, as well as case studies highlighting good practices and areas for improvement. The initiative aims to provide evidence-based insights for regulators, developers, and municipalities, promoting strategies that enhance community acceptance and equitable development of renewable energy projects. By fostering procedurally just and distributively fair approaches, the project seeks to support the rapid and fair expansion of renewable energy in Europe. Additionally, the project contributes to broader European and global efforts to establish common standards for fair renewable energy practices, offering criteria, KPIs, and actionable recommendations for stakeholders.
