Impact and Implications of Renewable Energy
摘要
Hydro and biofuel development in Cameroon have both caused detrimental effects to the socio- ecological environment. Furthermore, health, gender, as well as socio-economic impacts on development in terms of education are all negatively impacted from the continued dependence on traditional bioenergy such as fuelwood. The unsustainable development of renewables in Cameroon affects food and water security further compounding issues of vulnerability as well as precariousness. In addition, expanding power differentials in Cameroon and the consequent unequal distribution of benefits and costs of renewable energy development results in many forms of injustices that negatively affect the well-being of local communities as well as the livelihoods that they depend on.
