It's for national populations to choose their leadership and governments, not have them imposed on them by external forces.


However, international leadership and diplomatic pressure and incentives, international trade, and responsible corporate leverage, nudges, and contract conditions, rather than BAU 'smash and grab easy profits and rewards for the few' corporate tactics, enforcement of anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and responsible and ethical business practices can assist in helping developing nations transform into responsible governance structures. If w answer the 'what's in it for me' question, then perhaps behaviours will change for the better for developing nation governments and their populations - a safe, fairly treated, content and self-fulfilling population isn't likely to react negatively against its government or migrate.


Those with clean energy assets and resources to assist in national development and responsible socio-economic and technical development that benefits both us and them have much potential. We should use sustainable and responsible procurement to generate triple bottom line (people, profit, planet) benefits for all.


We help nations exploit their clean energy resources to develop their countries and bring benefit to their wider population, but it needs to be done responsibly and not in a 'lining the elite's pockets' way. Will be difficult, but is necessary and possible I believe.

Perhaps brining together UK's FCO, DFID and overseas business and economic/export departments would assist in this via a 'joined up' government and business focus and strategy to use diplomatic, business and development levers in a coherent and coordinated manner to use UK's 'soft power' influence for change for the good in target countries? Each target country will need its own fine-tuned strategy and coordinated plan, and ideally international coordination and cooperation.
