Practitioner Dialogue: The Hidden Bill of Green Conflict: Derisking Renewable Energy by Strengthening Community Trust

IHRB hosted a practitioner dialogue to launch its new report, The Hidden Bill of Green Conflict: Derisking Renewable Energy by Strengthening Community Trust, which explores the costs of company-community conflict across wind and solar projects globally.

IHRB’s findings point to costs that are material, widespread, and largely hidden from how projects are financed and governed.

This session brings together practitioners from across the renewables value chain - developers/operators and their insurance, investor, and legal counterparts - to reflect on what evidence from the report means for decision-making in real-world contexts.

Watch now to learn more about: 

• Where do company-conflict costs surface in a renewables project? 
• Why are they so difficult to track and govern? 
• What approaches are emerging to strengthen community trust?
