Dr. Jeanne Moore:

I thank the Chairman for the comment he made on engagement with communities on wind energy projects. We did such work in 2014. We found that if communities were involved and given a share of either the economics of a renewable energy project or the social benefits, they were much more open to the idea. It is also a justice issue. It is about not only procedural justice - it must be a fair and transparent system - but also distributive justice in the sense that people need to get something back. It is a broader issue in the decarbonisation of the economy that it is not merely about taking out emissions but also about creating a new social vision of the kind of society in which we want to live. There is a social aspect to it. That is why when we consider renewable energy projects, we cannot forget that people must be brought along and that there must be community engagement. I do not think we would make that mistake now, knowing as much as we do. It would be nice to think that in assessing every technical challenge we can think of in terms of decarbonisation we would also think about the social aspects and how we could involve and engage communities.
