On 24 April, REP and partners convene a virtual side event to move this forward.
Grounded experiences. Real barriers. Practical pathways to rights-based, direct financing.
Join the conversation shaping a transition that is not only clean—but just.

#UNPFII25 #WeAreIndigenous
As discussions unfold, one issue stands out:
Indigenous Peoples are already delivering solutions—including renewable energy.
But access to direct, flexible, and equitable financing remains limited.
Proven solutions exist. The system is what’s not working.

#UNPFII25 opened with a clear message:
Indigenous Peoples are not beneficiaries—they are leaders, knowledge holders, and custodians of systems the world depends on.
Yet their continued exclusion from decision-making and financing is not a gap. It is a systemic failure.
#WeAreIndigenous
From policy to practice—what does real inclusion look like?
REP joins @adb.org webinar on operationalizing ESF for disadvantaged & vulnerable groups. Our ED, Robeliza Halip, brings Indigenous perspectives on rights, safeguards, & self-determined development

Who leads the energy transition—and who is left behind?
Indigenous Peoples are already delivering renewable energy solutions. Yet barriers remain: limited direct financing, complex systems, and misaligned partnerships.

Indigenous Peoples are not just participants—they are already building community-based renewable energy systems grounded in self-determination.
This session will highlight real solutions, address gaps in FPIC, & explore how financing and policy can better support Indigenous-led energy initiatives.
At the upcoming ADB Annual Meeting, REP is convening a critical session
“From Policy to Practice: Advancing Indigenous Peoples’ Leadership in the Energy Transition.”
As we accelerates toward renewable energy, there's a question: Who leads transitions & whose voices are left out?

A graphic featuring a quote by Joan Carling displayed in a large white text box over a dark gradient background. The quote reads: “Once you did the consultations and the FPIC process with the wrong leaders, then the whole process is compromised.” At the top, the text “World Bank Group Spring Meetings, 14 April 2026” is shown. Below the quote is a photo of Joan Carling, an older woman with short gray hair wearing a yellow top, smiling. Her name and the session title “From Policy to Practice: Upholding the Consent of Indigenous Peoples in Private Sector Standards” appear beside her image. At the bottom right, there is a QR code with the text “Scan to rewatch the broadcast.” The logos and contact details of the Right Energy Partnership with Indigenous Peoples (REP) are displayed along the bottom.
If the wrong leaders are consulted… then the whole process is compromised.
A powerful reminder from Joan Carling, IPRI Executive Director and REP Board Chairperson, on why FPIC must be done right from the very beginning.

#UNPFII25 | Join us for a hybrid side event Indigenous Peoples’ Access to Climate and Development Finance: Status, Challenges, Practices, and Recommendations
📅April 22, 2026
🕰8:00 AM (New York Time)
📍UNDP Headquarters, New York & Online (Hybrid)
Energy transitions are happening across the world.
But for many Indigenous Peoples, access to reliable, affordable, & clean energy is still out of reach, with real impacts on health, livelihoods, & everyday life.
As global conversations continue, a question remains:
Who is leading the transition?
We begin soon, bringing together Indigenous leaders, practitioners, and private sector actors to reflect on how FPIC is being implemented in practice—and what can be strengthened onward
15:00–16:30 (EDT)

He made his contribution during the 1st GCF Global Conference on Indigenous Peoples held on 8-10 in Incheon, South Korea. His experience points to deeper questions around visibility, data, and how current systems reach last-mile communities.

A closer look at what energy access data doesn’t always show.
REP Board Member Mr Adrian Lasimbang highlighting the gap between reported progress and realities on the ground—where many Indigenous communities remain without access to electricity.

FPIC is widely recognized in private sector standards.
But how is it being implemented in practice?

“When progress is reported [on access to energy], it often overlooks those [Indigenous Peoples] who are still left behind.”
A reminder from our board member that many Indigenous communities remain invisible in energy access data—and in climate finance decisions.
#JustTransition #IndigenousPeoples
At next week’s #WBGMeetings, join us for a panel on Indigenous Peoples' rights and consent in private sector standards.
We'll share lessons, name the gaps, and push for stronger respect for Indigenous Peoples’ consent in business.
📍 14 April 15.00-16.30 in DC

Access to energy is not just about availability—it’s about who leads and who benefits.
From training spaces to farming fields, this is what a just, community-led energy transition looks like.

This didn’t start here.
Many of these women and facilitators were part of IPREP trainings and interlearning exchanges—spaces designed to build Indigenous-led renewable energy solutions.
Now, that learning is being applied on the ground.
#JustTransition #Solar
Women are not just using renewable energy—they are leading it.
In Bardiya, Nepal, Tharu women farmers are using solar irrigation systems to power their farms, reduce costs, and strengthen food security.
