As the global economy transitions to more renewable energy, we must ensure that this shift benefits both people and the planet. Many stakeholder recognize the need to deploy renewable energy infrastructure differently. By bringing them together, the coalition will create alignment on actions and policies that result in better outcomes for people and biodiversity while accelerating the energy transition.

Our vision is to create a world that runs entirely on green energy, where our company takes action and makes measurable impact for communities and nature. We're looking forward to exchanging learnings with out peers to accelerate and harmonize our actions for nature and people. We need integration, institutionalization and implementation to have industry impact -- and industry can show what's possible.

What does a good, responsible renewable project look like? Industry standards and best practices for how projects support climate, conservation, and community goals can align expectations, strengthen public trust, and increase the social license for renewables deployment. We look forward to engaging with industry, civil society, and other leaders under this initiative to support the development and implementation of industry standards for a rapid and responsible clean energy transition.

The proposed WEF Principles are crucial. Unless we assure fairness, transparency, and accountability in the siting of renewable energy facilities and related infrastructure around the world, the opposition will grow, and the energy transition at the heart of efforts to combat climate change will not have a chance of succeeding. 

Achieving climate goals, such as those related to clean energy and biodiversity, requires more than just solving financial, technical, and logistical challenges. A key prerequisite for the successful transition to renewable energy is the early involvement of and transparent communication between all stakeholders and opinion leaders.

A just transition to renewable energy at pace and scale is essential to tackling climate change, but we need to make sure this is done right. As an organisation leading on the science, policy and implementation of nature-safe and nature-positive renewable energy infrastructure, we are excited to join this multistakeholder coalition to identify and drive action to support global goals for climate, nature and people.

There is an urgent need to accelerate the energy transition. Offshore wind and other marine renewable technologies are key ocean-based climate solutions, which can deliver some of the largest contributions to closing the emissions gap. It is crucial to ensure that, during the large-scale deployment of renewables infrastructure, communities and nature remain protected, healthy and thriving.

A responsible approach to deployment of renewable infrastructure has the potential to add value to both businesses and communities, accelerating the pace towards a clean energy system. As such, it is important to develop a common understanding of what contributes a successful, responsible project, looking holistically at economic, environmental and social outcomes.
