Description
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.
Key discussion points will include:
- The role of ADR in addressing cross-border mining and renewable disputes.
- Lessons from recent disputes and arbitral awards in the energy sector.
- How regulatory frameworks are adapting to support energy transition projects.
- Opportunities for investors and governments to leverage ADR for sustainable partnerships.
- Building capacity for dispute prevention and management in Africa's energy transition.

This session promises to be thought-provoking, forward-looking, and practical, equipping participants with the tools and knowledge to navigate the inevitable disputes that come with Nigeria's, and Africa's, energy future.
