French energy giant EDF has been working on the Gunaa Sicarú wind park project since 2015. The problem: wind power stations are planned on the territory of the indigenous Unión Hidalgo community. EDF is trying to secure a construction authorization from the Mexican state – but until now, the indigenous group was not effectively consulted. This is why Unión Hidalgo representatives, the Mexican organization ProDESC, and ECCHR filed a civil suit against EDF in France on 13 October 2020. The company should halt the wind farm project until it can meet human rights standards. [ECCHR case page]
