What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

In a bid to ensure that the transition from fossil fuels to green and renewable energy is both equitable and inclusive, the AbibiNsroma Foundation, in collaboration with the FIDEP Foundation, held a workshop at CENCOR in Dzorwulu, Accra.

The event, titled "Advocating for Social-Inclusive Just Transition: Empowering CSOs with Progressive Rights-Based Tools," aimed to equip civil society organizations (CSOs) across Ghana with the knowledge and tools needed to advocate for a just transition that benefits all segments of society.

Supported by Milieudefensie (FoE-Netherlands), the workshop emphasized the importance of a Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) in driving social justice during this pivotal energy shift.

During the workshop, participants delved into the concept of a just transition from fossil fuels to green and renewable energy, exploring the associated social, economic, and environmental implications.

The event underscored the need for advocacy strategies that promote social inclusiveness within energy transitions, ensuring that marginalized communities are not left behind. Central to these discussions was the introduction of progressive rights-based tools and frameworks, which participants were trained to utilize in their advocacy efforts.
