ENERGY DRINK #24 What is 'Just Transition' and Why We Need to Talk about It (Ft. Raphael Heffron) - a podcast by Purnomo Yusgiantoro Center

Have you ever heard about "Just Transition"?

What is the history behind the term "Just Transition"? What are the key concepts?

Many countries have continued to transition away from emissions-intensive energy sources to address the climate challenge. The importance of reaching a 'just transition' in facing transformational changes has increased significantly in the past years. 

Furthermore, to deliver the SDGs and ensure a sustainable future, each country needs to consider a transition pathway that is contextual to the nation itself.

"Just Transition" to a low carbon economy is essential, and the change is globally & rapidly ensuing. Indonesia must respond quickly and be innovative in the way they work.

One of the PYC Researchers, Budi, has discussed this issue exclusively with Prof. Raphael Heffron, Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine.
