Case Studies and Green Skills for Just Energy Transformation in Asia

Description

Please read Terms of Reference document for full information. Overarching purpose: The overall aim of this project is to compile case studies from Climate Solutions Partnership Energy Transition (CSP-ET) work in Indonesia, Vietnam and India and develop skill development roadmaps to promote just energy transformation in these countries. Project scope and objectives: To facilitate the urgently required global transformation to renewable energy by recognising the need to drive skill building and reskilling for communities and workers dependant on fossil fuels for energy and employment. Addressing this potential barrier by reskilling to provide work forces with opportunities related to renewable energy. Without such provision, there is likely to be social resistance to any energy transition, which will jeopardise the immediate shift that is needed from fossil fuels to clean energy. To achieve this goal, the purpose of this project is to: Influence policy makers, business leaders, workers, communities and other stakeholders on the urgent need for skills as a focus area to drive energy transition, with targeted engagement through launch of the skills case studies report at COP 29 (Nov 2024) and the skill development roadmap at Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) 2025 or Asian Energy/Climate conferences before June 2025. Influence policy makers to prioritise skills in the country NDCs or Just transition working plans in the run up to COP29 and other global events. Objective 1. Compile Case studies from WWF CSP-ET Asia offices on skills training and their role in driving Just Energy Transformation. (In consultation with the WWF CSP-ET offices) 2. Develop a roadmap for skills development essential to accelerate energy transition in Asia focussing on Dairy sector (India), Textiles sector (Vietnam/Adidas in Indonesia) and Government stakeholders (PLN, Indonesia).
