Advancing Just Energy Transition in the ASEAN

This paper proposes the following recommendations to address the adverse effects of climate change in the ASEAN: decarbonising the ASEAN by accelerating decarbonisation by 2030; promoting market reforms to enable fair and open competition for energy generation; committing to no more new coal and introducing comparable support for renewable energy; and ensuring a human-centered energy transition in the ASEAN toward a community-focused, equal sharing of benefits and risks and the empowerment of community-owned energy systems.

The recommendations reflect the outcome of a series of stakeholder dialogues with contributions from Oxfam, Heinrich Böll Stiftung Southeast Asia Regional Office, Trend Asia, the Institute for Essential Services Reform, AMPERES, HPNET, Yayasan Indonesia Cerah, Right Energy Partnership with Indigenous Peoples, Green Innovation and Development Centre (GreenID Vietnam), Lao Natural Resources and River Network (LNRN), the NGO Forum on Cambodia, WWF Myanmar, Heinrich Böll Stiftung in Cambodia and Myanmar, and the Center for Energy, Ecology and Development.
