Old injustices in new forms. Read this thread on land conflicts arising due to renewable energy projects. The cost of unregulated green growth👇
The energy sector in India is the biggest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reduce the economy’s carbon intensity, India has set an ambitious target of producing 500 GW energy from renewable sources by 2030. A thread by @Priyansha_C 1/6
@harsh8848 @GlennLuk Here's just one example of the naked loot that affects millions of practically voiceless people. x.com/landconflicts/…
LCW’s database has recorded and analysed 25 conflicts caused by renewable energy projects. The findings suggest that all these conflicts were situated in rural areas, with common land involved in 80% cases. 2/6

This thread exposes the worrying trend of selective evictions targeting #Muslims & poor in #JammuKashmir following the #RoshniAct's repeal. While the act was criticised for benefiting wealthy & influential people, recent evictions seem more about targeting Muslims and the poor.
On 11 Jan '22, Jammu Development Authority demolished Saif Ali's home in Paloura, citing encroachment on govt land, in the aftermath of the #RoshniAct repeal. Locals say that politics around the law has left the poor & marginalised in fear of losing land. A thread by…

#JustTransition from #coal must focus on giving land back to communities it was originally taken from, to undo historic wrongs. But @LandConflicts research found that coal mines taken on lease from govt have not been returned even to the state. @sukriti_vats for @IndiaSpend
In 2022, Jharkhand pioneered India’s “Just Transition” framework, aiming to shift away from fossil fuels. But the state has opened more coal mines, hasn’t shut the old ones and has not framed policy for returning land. @sukriti_vats writes for @IndiaSpend indiaspend.com/governance/jha…

No land return policies in place, more coal projects, and a lack of clarity on what constitutes local participation render the idea of a ‘Just Transition’ meaningless in Jharkhand. My story for @IndiaSpend
Jharkhand’s pioneering adoption of #JustTransition from coal to renewables falters on the way. Instead of seeing efforts to close down old coal mines, more projects have been opened in the state. indiaspend.com/governance/jha…
