“…Beyond Africa, Chang et al (2023) analysed the relationship between two mining companies and their host communities in Peru and Chile. The selected projects (Minera Yanacocha's Minas Conga extension project in Peru and Minera Los Pelambres' El Mauro Tailings Dam in Chile) were those that had been followed by community conflicts, right from inception.…”

The conflict between the mining companies and the people of Ibise-Komu community of Oyo State has become perennial. The interventions to manage the conflict have also been continuously applied with limited success. This study is motivated by this background to better understand the dimensions of the miners-community conflict and analyze the immediate and remote causes of the conflict. To do this, the researcher visited the community and implemented a purposive random sampling technique to select 200 locals to participate in the study. A self-designed questionnaire was administered among all the respondents while only 20 of them participated in the semi-structured interview sessions. The empirical analysis was guided by frequency counts, percentages, descriptive statistics and logit regression. Findings revealed that the miners-community conflict has indeed become existential. While the community lays claim of ownership and control over the mineral deposits in their land, the behaviors of the miners seem to be in opposite of the perspectives of the general members of the community. In particular, the respondents argued that the miners recruit less of the indigenes in their mining activities, destroy their roads, pollute their environment and contribute minimally to the growth and development of the community. It follows that the solutions to the miners-community conflict should be addressed from the ends of the miners. This may be labelled with hurdles if the miners enjoy discriminatory backing of the government.

“…While most mining companies focus on obtaining formal licence from the government to operate, they often disregard social licence from their host communities. This has been the major driver of conflicts between the two parties (Chang et al, 2023).…”

“…Exploration of fossil energy sources often results in environmental damage that surpasses the opportunity cost of cleaner and healthier economies. Moreover, exploration and mining processes frequently create conflicts between companies and local communities (Oh et al, 2023). Drilling processes in exploiting natural gas energy sources also lead to prolonged disasters.…”

This article about energy in an economic context, energy fossil has become one of the causes of issues faced by humanity. These problems have cascading impacts, ranging from climate damage to individual health and global socio-economic conditions. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of renewable energy, fossil energy, labor force, foreign direct investment and carbon dioxide emissions on economic growth. The analytical tool employed was the ARDL bound test. Secondary data from annual series spanning from 1986 to 2020. The study found a two-way cointegration between labor force, foreign direct investment, and economic growth. Based on the methodology used, conclusions were drawn regarding short-run and long-run relationships. In the short run, both fossil and renewable energy had unidirectional relationships with economic growth. Carbon dioxide emissions had a negative impact on economic growth in the short-run and the long-run. Labor force and economic growth exhibited a two-way relationship in the long-run. Consequently, energy transition policies and the imposition of carbon emission taxes could have negative short-run implications for Indonesia's economic growth, while the reverse may be true in the long run. Economic growth may reach a peak and then decline and policymakers should maximize existing non-renewable energy sources. A policy requiring to control more fossil fuel energy sources and discover untapped reserves is worthy of continuation and even strengthening. The findings provide an understanding of the relationship between renewable energy and economic growth as a necessity for the energy transition. The study has limitations in assumptions when interpreting the findings.
