Abstract

The G20 has emphasised the need to ensure an energy transition that is just, inclusive, and sustainable. The grouping adopted an energy transition strategy, the ‘Decade of Actions: Bali Energy Transition Roadmap’, during the Indonesian presidency in 2022. An important component of the Bali Roadmap is the ‘Presidency Troika’ action plan, under which the G20 is to adopt key principles and guidelines for a just and inclusive energy transition. This policy brief outlines the principles and guidelines for a just and inclusive energy transition under four thematic areas while considering the unique challenges of the Global South countries. These include social and economic development, eliminating energy poverty, ensuring quality of life and sustainable lifestyle practices; employment and jobs, including ensuring gender equality and interest of the youth; financing a just and inclusive energy transition; and inclusive decision-making.
