Solar E-Waste in Africa: facilitating the right to repair

该项目旨在调查撒哈拉以南非洲的太阳能电子废物问题-全球向可再生能源过渡的结果-以及能够应对这一挑战的紧急当地维修地理位置。该项目旨在利用跨学科方法产生有关太阳能电子废物的新知识，以批判性地绘制问题并评估可能的产品维修解决方案的可行性和公正性。该项目的预期成果包括详细了解全球南方环境中的太阳能电子废物问题，以及评估当地的修复方法。这将为撒哈拉以南地区和类似的全球南方环境中应对太阳能电子废物的行为者带来重大利益。

This project aims to investigate the issue of solar e-waste in Sub Saharan Africa – an outcome of the global transition to renewable energy – and emergent local repair geographies equipped to address this challenge. This project is designed to generate new knowledge regarding solar e-waste using interdisciplinary approaches to critically map the issue and assess the viability and justice implications of possible product repair solutions. Expected outcomes of this project include a detailed understanding of the solar e-waste problem in Global South settings, and an assessment of local repair approaches. This will provide significant benefits for actors in Sub Saharan and similar Global South contexts grappling with solar e-waste.
