Collective Call for a New Forward-Looking AIIB Energy Sector Strategy

In the context of the AIIB’s 2022 update of the Energy Sector Strategy, we are taking the opportunity to outline urgent concerns and reflections shared by both civil society groups and project-affected communities, as represented in the signatories below. As we are still awaiting clear publicly available information on the timeline, scope, and approach of this update, in the interim, we are proceeding by clarifying our positions going into this process as set forth below. Nevertheless, in doing so, we are fully cognizant that to date, we have no indication if - and how - the AIIB Management intends to engage in meaningful consultations with concerned civil society groups based in regional and non-regional countries  (borrowing and non-borrowing alike).
