Energy-related conflicts are on the rise, spanning diverse issues such as the impact of rare mineral mining on local communities, the impacts of sanctions in energy investments due to the Russia-Ukraine war, and the expansion of subsidies for the electric vehicle and solar panel industries. Increasingly companies, communities and governments are clashing over the challenges of pursuing disparate, and sometimes competing, energy policies.
This Article argues for a fundamental rethinking of dispute resolution mechanisms in the energy investment sector. Traditional semi-adjudicatory models, which focus on winners and losers, fail to accommodate the complex, multifaceted nature of contemporary energy disputes. Drawing on current literature and recent events, this Article proposes a new framework, “resilient dispute resolution systems,” which advocates for inclusive, adaptable, and resilient processes. Key features of this approach include fact-finding missions, multi-stakeholders’ participation, consensus-building, and supervisory procedures that allow for flexibility and adjustment over time. By moving toward a resilient dispute resolution system that embraces ongoing dialogue and diverse stakeholder participation, the energy sector can better navigate shocks, promote transparency, and balance competing goals, ultimately fostering more sustainable and equitable outcomes.
Invite-only event.
