“Collaboration in Action for Inclusive Energy Roadmap”

The plenary session aims to provide insights and the latest findings into the strategies of renowned experts from various perspectives. The session also aims to educate participants on the importance of supply-side and demand-side collaboration to create an inclusive energy transition roadmap, especially in ASEAN and Indonesia in particular. The plenary session will deliver these goals from (5) five perspectives.

1. Human capital perspective will discuss the government’s plan for preparing Indonesia’s human capital to support net zero emissions, including the energy transition program. Additionally, this session will explore the potential collaborations between ministries and ASEAN member states that are necessary to support and enhance this plan and how these collaborative efforts can contribute to boosting the energy transition not only within Indonesia but also across the ASEAN region.
2. The government perspective will discuss an overview of the current national energy transition status and strategic plan for supply and demand side management, as well as the contribution from Indonesia in enhancing the energy transition in ASEAN. The discussion will also emphasize the major obstacles in providing clean energy for the end-use energy sector from the government’s perspective.
3. The education perspective will discuss the transformation of ASEAN education system towards a just transition. Education for the just transition must affirm the importance of teachers and students as agents of transformation and promote critical educational practices and approaches which support the transition to a low-carbon economy and which value the characteristics of justice, that include equity, equality, fairness, and inclusiveness to build a curriculum that advocates sustainable growth.
   Hence, ASEAN member states can draw on these lessons to develop comprehensive approaches integrating education, research, vocational training, industry collaboration, and lifelong learning for a successful energy transition.
4. Industry perspective will discuss how Vietnam successfully aligns its renewable energy plan with the development of its manufacturing sector. By exploring this integration, we can uncover valuable lessons that can benefit not only Vietnam but also other ASEAN countries. Sharing best practices and insights will foster regional collaboration and help accelerate the adoption of sustainable energy practices across the ASEAN region, contributing to a greener and more resilient future for all.
5. Transportation sector will explore how Thailand has successfully integrated its renewable energy plan with its transportation plan, creating a harmonious synergy between sustainable energy sources and transportation infrastructure. The valuable lessons learned from Thailand’s experience have the potential to greatly benefit other ASEAN countries, facilitating knowledge exchange and collaborative efforts towards developing environmentally conscious transportation systems throughout the region.
