Energy Access and Justice in the Asia-Pacific

Edited by Clare Richardson-Barlow and Nofri Yenita Dahlan

In this special issue, we bring together three papers that explore the multi-faceted challenges and opportunities of achieving climate and energy justice in Southeast Asia. Firstly, ‘Rural electrification efforts from the perspective of ASEAN Energy Awards’ by Monika Merdekawati, Beni Suryadi, Veronica Ayu Pangestika, and Zahrah Zafira from the ASEAN Centre for Energy, delves into the regional energy landscape, providing a macro-level view of ASEAN’s journey towards sustainable electrification. This sets the stage for the second paper, ‘Empowering rural electrification in the Philippines: a case study’ by Isidro Antonio III Marfori, Alvin B. Culaba, and Aristotle T. Ubando, which offers a micro-level exploration, highlighting the nuances and impacts of rural electrification initiatives in the Philippines. The third paper, ‘Research overview and outcomes: just transitions to decarbonisation in the Asia-Pacific’ by Clare Richardson-Barlow and Nofri Dahlan, bridges these perspectives, presenting comprehensive research findings that underscore the complexity of just transitions in the region by highlighting four distinct country experiences in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Together, these papers present a narrative that underscores the critical need for inclusive, equitable, and sustainable approaches to energy access and climate action. They collectively emphasise the importance of local contexts, stakeholder engagement, and innovative business models in driving forward the region’s energy transition, while ensuring that this transition is aligned with the global objectives of climate change mitigation and sustainable development.
