Transition Governance and Law

Project description

Improving democracy through government and law

Should States be the sole participants in the energy transition in law? The EU-funded TGL project will focus on this and moreso, energy democracy. The TGL project intends to check and verify whether this involvement provides for an effective mechanism put in place by states. It will also investigate how, in such a case, the practice of NGOs in renewable energies system reflects their role. The project, however, will consider the NGOs in lobbying. TGL aims to identify first the functions of NGOs and then their roles.
