Snapshot co-organized by the Working Group on Business and Human Rights and Statkraft  

"Safeguarding Human Rights: A Strategic Approach Through Due Diligence in Renewable Energy Projects" focuses on the integration of human rights due diligence in the renewable energy sector, particularly in regions with complex labor markets and inadequate worker protections. The session will explore how a strategic mix of regulatory mandates, CSR initiatives, and voluntary frameworks like the UNGP can help mitigate human rights impacts, especially on vulnerable communities such as migrant workers and indigenous peoples. By examining the challenges and efficacy of these measures during project planning and execution, the session aims to highlight the importance of accountability, transparency, and collaboration in upholding human rights standards throughout the project's lifecycle.
