Most of the world’s 102 million forcibly displaced people - refugees - lack access to reliable, affordable, sustainable energy. Attempts to provide such energy in refugee camps have been marred by governance challenges, and a lack of technical expertise within humanitarian organisations.
But new research discussed in this lecture on the lived experience of refugees is helping cast a light on ways to address it. However, developing inclusive approaches and supporting refugee-led action on energy is no easy task.
This lecture was recorded by Dr Sarah Rosenberg-Jansen on 10th April 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London
Sarah is a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, where she is a member of the Refugee Studies Centre and Linacre College.
She is the Co-Founder of the Global Platform for Action for Sustainable Energy in Displacement Situations (GPA).
