Fostering just a energy transition: A framework for policy design.

  While the energy transition promises considerable economic, social and environmental benefits, it will not automatically or inevitably yield a just outcome. The transition is taking place within an energy system that already exhibits significant inequalities. Reliable and affordable energy services remain out of reach for hundreds of millions of people in both developing and developed countries, while the ownership of – and economic benefits derived from – energy assets are unevenly distributed. Nations, communities and households most in need lack access to suitable financing and assistance, while the adverse impacts of climate change disproportionately affect marginalised and low-income groups. Meanwhile, these groups continue to struggle to have their voices heard in both national and international decision making. Without the deliberate inclusion of just principles in policy making and implementation, existing structural inequalities may simply be replicated during the energy...

HLPF Side Event by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia. Recent global dynamics have exposed deep vulnerabilities in energy and food systems . Rising fuel prices, supply chain disruptions, and market uncertainty have increased the cost of food production, processing, storage, transportation, and distribution. In this context, energy shocks can quickly become food security shocks. Developing countries face growing food security challenges due to high energy costs, weak infrastructure, fragmented cold chains, and limited access to finance and technology . For agrarian, coastal, archipelagic, and least developed countries, resilient food systems also depend on sustainable water management, fisheries, rural livelihoods, inter-island connectivity, and climate resilience. Renewable energy offers a strategic pathway to strengthen food system resilience. Solutions such as solar-powered irrigation, renewable energy-based cold storage, clean energy for food system, and sustainable fi...
