Just, grassroots-led and inclusive energy transition in Peru

The report on Peru analyzes the country’s progress, challenges, and opportunities on the path toward a just, popular, and inclusive energy transition. Despite having significant renewable energy potential, the extractivist model and the high dependence on fossil fuels continue to shape national energy policy. The study highlights the need to rethink the energy matrix from an approach that prioritizes social equity, environmental sustainability, and respect for Amazonian territories. The document also gathers local experiences that are already promoting alternatives from the territories, highlighting the role of communities and organizations committed to more sustainable models of production and consumption. These initiatives show that an energy transition is not only possible, but must be built from the ground up, with the active participation of peoples, linking climate justice, energy sovereignty, and transformative economies.
