ACP Magazine
Milton Montoya

Energy & Natural Resources attorney Milton Montoya published a column in the ACP Magazine positing that a just energy transition (JET) in Colombia encompasses more than economic and social aspects and instead involves distributive and procedural justice. Mr. Montoya argues that all actions related to the JET must take into account their effects on various industries, including mining and hydrocarbons, while ensuring the rights of vulnerable communities and equal participation of all stakeholders in the process. Furthermore, he stresses that a just transition is a collective, technical and thoughtfully planned endeavor that considers national characteristics, promotes self-sufficiency and aims for a responsible reduction in sector dependency.
