French Guiana: A former colony facing the energy transition
Type de matériel :
3
French Guiana belongs to the French Republic. It is a territory on which live indigenous populations who still perpetuate their traditional uses of land. Due to the increasing energy needs of the Guianese population, this region becomes a ground for disputes over the legitimate use of land. Several renewable energy projects (including the installation of solar panels) are led by French or foreign companies. They invest Guianese land by confronting different conceptions of the use of a territory marked by gold mining and colonization.
