Our Work: Ensuring that the energy transition has minimal impacts on vital ecosystems and Indigenous and local community lands
Earth Insight is combining geospatial analysis, risk mapping, political engagement, Indigenous and community capacity building, and strategic communications into a full-spectrum strategy to limit biofuels, bioenergy, and energy transition mineral threats to communities and biodiversity in key ecosystems.
Future Direction: Advancing policy change, political declarations, and rights-based outcomes
Earth Insight will be deepening our work to map energy transition threats to forests, key biodiversity areas, marine ecosystems and Indigenous and local community territories in Sub Saharan Africa and Indonesia and Southeast Asia more broadly. We are building partnerships and databases and research driven tools to support movement efforts to ensure the energy transition doesn’t create more harm than good.
