The Secretary-General established the Panel in April 2024 in response to calls from developing countries amid signs that the energy transition could reproduce and amplify inequalities of the past and to identify ways to ground the renewables-based energy transition in justice and equity, safeguarding human rights and protecting the environment.
At the conclusion of their work, the Panel recommended seven guiding principles and five actionable recommendations to embed justice and equity in critical mineral value chains.
