ADR and The Energy Transition: Emerging Trends in Mining and Renewable Disputes

About this event

As the global shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources accelerates, new opportunities are emerging in the mining and renewable energy sectors. However, with these opportunities come complex challenges and disputes that demand innovative solutions. Traditional litigation often proves time-consuming and costly, making Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) a vital tool for stakeholders navigating this evolving landscape.

This webinar, hosted by Olisa Agbakoba Legal (OAL), will provide a deep dive into how ADR mechanisms such as arbitration, mediation, and negotiation are being applied to resolve disputes arising from energy transition projects. Our expert panel will analyse key trends in mining and renewable disputes, highlight recent case studies, and share practical strategies to ensure efficient, fair, and sustainable outcomes for investors, operators, governments, and communities alike.

To help make sense of this shifting landscape, we’ve brought together a distinguished panel of leading voices in energy, law, and ADR. They will share their insights, experiences, and practical strategies for resolving disputes in Africa’s mining and renewable sectors, ensuring progress in the transition to sustainable energy.
