The Implications of Green Employment: Making a Just Transition in ASEAN
A 2021 paper which constructs a policy framework for supporting the greening of employment and a 'just transition' across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). [Originally posted at https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/13/7389]
The Just Transition Transaction (JTT) in Southeast Asia; Application to Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines
A 2022 study which uses South Africa as a reference case study to deconstruct the Just Transition Transaction (JTT) and develops a framework of necessary and conducive features for its application to other countries. The authors then use this framework to evaluate the JTT’s suitability for supporting a green transition in key South-East Asian countries, specifically Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

Guiding Principles & Lessons Learned For a Just Energy Transition in the Global South
A 2017 study which provides an overview of different 'just transition', energy transformation and climate justice discourses, presents a set of just energy transition principles and applies them to evaluate climate policies of 12 Global South countries.

The Just Transition Transaction (JTT) in Southeast Asia
A 2022 report which first uses South Africa as a reference case study to deconstruct the JTT and develop a framework of necessary and conducive features for its application to other countries. The authors then use this framework to evaluate the JTT’s suitability for supporting a green transition in key South East Asian countries, specifically Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. They find that, while the JTT is suitable for Indonesia and Vietnam, it is not as suitable for the Philippines. Finally, they present a tiered JTT as a model to encourage a green transition at a supranational level and propose avenues for specific research to apply the JTT to Indonesia and Vietnam.

A Just Transition for Urban Transport Workers: Issues and Experiences from Unions in Cities of the Global South
A 2022 report which highlights the ways in which extreme weather events, flooding, air pollution and draughts are impacting workers, especially women and young workers who often hold the most precarious jobs and have the least protection. It also features the effects of two technological changes often justified as related to combating climate change: the expansion of electric buses and the introduction of automated ticket vending technology.

Just Transition in the International Development Cooperation Context
A 2020 report which aims to shed light on how 'just transition' work has been advancing in low and middle-income countries and highlight how trade unions and development actors can enhance climate ambition. It provides examples of union responses in different productive sectors and how Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) will shift labour markets and sectorial challenges.

A Just Energy Transition in Southeast Asia: The Impact of Coal Phase-Out on Jobs
A 2022 report which focuses on ensuring a 'just transition' while phasing out coal in line with the ILO Guidelines for a Just Transition towards Environmentally Sustainable Economies and Societies for All. The report suggests that in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Viet Nam, job losses due to mine closures in coal-dependent regions and the loss of indirect jobs in their industrial ecologies will have a profound negative effect on the labour markets, economies, and livelihoods of local communities.

Covid-19 and a Just Transition in India's Coal Mining Sector The COVID 19 pandemic hit India hard in early 2020, with negative GDP growth and a surge in unemployment. In the energy sector, coal fired power generation was already under pressure from overcapacity, low electricity demand growth, and increasingly competitive renewables.
Considerations for a Just and Equitable Energy Transition As the energy transition accelerates, it is our responsibility, it is our opportunity, to ensure that in addition to contributing to a healthy planet by replacing fossil fuels with clean energy sources, this is accomplished in a just and equitable manner providing prosperity for all.
