The importance of women participation in ensuring justice in energy transition in ASEAN and G7.

Many countries have increased their climate ambitions, including net-zero by 2060. Gender equality is essential for just energy transition (JET). United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 5 and 7 promote both gender equality and access to sustainable energy for all. Women's participation in JET is crucial, yet they are underrepresented in the energy industry. This paper aims to analyse the aspect of justice in the energy transition from the perspectives of women in ASEAN and G7 countries, attempting to answer the question of how far women in ASEAN have participated in the energy transition (from leadership roles to end-users) compared to women in G7 economies. We use case studies (with cross-analysis of ASEAN and G7 countries) to explore women's experiences as both workers in the energy sector and as energy consumers. Most of the literature on women's issues in the energy sector is related to energy poverty and energy access, so this paper will contribute to the literature by examining women as workers and consumers. The study involved content analysis with intensive literature reviews. We also adopted the three tenets of justice by Jenkins et al. (2016) and analysed the collected data using this framework. This paper finds that despite having more women in leadership roles in the renewable energy sector, G7 is almost at the same level as ASEAN in terms of the effort to improving women's participation with the aim of accelerating and ensuring a just energy transition

Dekomposisi Emisi Karbon Dioksida (Co2) DI ASEAN-8 Berdasarkan Kaya Identity

ASEAN merupakan kawasan dengan tingkat emisi CO2 yang tergolong tinggi, hal tersebut juga diiringi dengan kenaikan jumlah penduduk, pendapatan domestik bruto (PDB) serta konsumsi energi. Jumlah penduduk, PDB, dan konsumsi energi dapat dihubungkan dengan emisi CO2 melalui sebuah persamaan identitas yaitu Kaya Identity. Penelitian melakukan dekomposisi emisi CO2 berdasarkan Kaya Identity untuk menghitung kontribusi dari efek jumlah penduduk, aktivitas ekonomi, intensitas energi, dan intensitas karbon terhadap emisi CO2 di ASEAN serta 8 negara didalamnya yaitu Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapura, Thailand, Filipina, Vietnam, Myanmar, dan Brunei Darussalam. Metode yang digunakan adalah Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI). Data yang digunakan merupakan data sekunder yang berasal dari International Energy Agency (IEA) dan World Bank. Hasil yang didapatkan menunjukkan jika efek jumlah penduduk menyebabkan kenaikan emisi CO2 di ASEAN dan semua negara. Aktivitas ekonomi berpengaruh dalam meningkatkan pertumbuhan emisi CO2 di ASEAN dan semua negara kecuali Brunei Darussalam. Intensitas energi membuat emisi CO2 di negara lower-middle income menurun, sedangkan di negara upper-middle dan high income meningkat. Intensitas karbon di negara di negara lower-middle income membuat emisi CO2 di negara tersebut naik, namun di negara upper-middle dan high income justru menurun

Challenges in increasing women's participation in the energy transition in ASEAN and G7 countries: a qualitative approach based on the three tenets of justice.

Ensuring an inclusive and just transition towards a low-carbon economy has become increasingly important. This paper emphasises the challenges in increasing the extent of women's participation in the energy transition in ASEAN and G7 countries. In this paper, two research questions are addressed: First, what are the challenges and barriers women face in ASEAN and G7 countries in participating in the energy transition? Second, what are the policies that can be implemented in ASEAN and G7 countries to ensure that the energy transition is both just and inclusive? Using VOS viewer, we found a gap in the literature, particularly in terms of women's perspectives in the context of the energy transition in ASEAN and G7 countries. To bridge this gap, we collected data by conducting interviews with women working in the energy sector in ASEAN and G7 countries. Moreover, we employed scientific literature to strengthen the analysis. These data were qualitatively analysed by applying Jenkins' three tenets of justice in the energy transition. The challenges we identified refer to raising awareness, access to opportunities, cultural background, women's psychological beliefs and physical considerations. Our discussion extends to policy implications, including drivers to policy change, enabling policies and the role of the private sector, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), academia and communities in increasing women's participation in the energy transition
