JustRE Leadership Programme

The JustRE Practitioner Leadership Programme is a pioneering initiative to strengthen the capacity and confidence of renewable energy practitioners in driving socially responsible and community-supported RE projects. Focused on the Global South, this programme aims to empower a diverse cohort of professionals to lead transformative practices in their local and regional contexts.

Informed by JustRE’s research and collective expertise, the pilot programme is designed as a scalable, modular capacity-building experience. It draws inspiration from leading leadership development models and tailors them to the specific challenges of embedding justice and equity in large-scale RE development.

In 2025, the project team will scope, design, and pilot the leadership programme through an in-person, multi-stakeholder workshop. This pilot will bring together practitioners from Africa, Asia, and Latin America to share practices, deepen expertise, build networks, and co-create solutions to shared challenges.

Key outcomes include a fully developed and documented curriculum, tested and refined through the pilot, as well as a clear roadmap for scaling the programme into a flagship JustRE offering. By equipping practitioners with knowledge, tools, and confidence to act as champions of social excellence, the programme builds momentum towards JustRE’s vision of a just and rapid energy transition.
