It finds that the underlying causes of the conflicts are diverse, complex, and dynamic: influencing factors include historical struggles over poverty and inequality, land ownership, mistrust in public and private institutions, a lack of free, prior and informed consultations (FPIC) before investment flows into the region and oftentimes a missing legal framework for benefit sharing. The study provides recommendations on how to improve the investment climate for renewable energy and wind energy, in particular, through benefit sharing, risk management, and local community engagement. Integrating communities through FPIC or benefit sharing mechanisms is costly - but the cost of not integrating communities and of failed projects is even higher. 2019-12-03T16:46:06Z 2019-12-03T16:46:06Z 2019-08-01 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/436351574916190205/Improving-the-Investment-Climate-for-Renewable-Energy-Through-Benefit-Sharing-Risk-Management-and-Local-Community-Engagement http://hdl.handle.net/10986/32748 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Energy Study Latin America & Caribbean Mexico
