JETPs are envisioned as catalysts for socially just energy transitions in fossil fuel-dependent countries. Yet, shortcomings of the mechanism, political-economic structures, and the initial implementation plans of South Africa, Indonesia, and Vietnam leave major doubts this goal will be reached.

Energiewende-Partnerschaften sollen Schwellenländer bei der Energiewende unterstützen. In Vietnam ist diese zwar ambitioniert, aber unterfinanziert, ungerecht und mit hohen politischen Folgekosten verbunden.

The purpose of Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETPs) is to decarbonize energy systems in emerging countries. In Vietnam, the partnership is ambitious but underfunded, unjust, and riddled with high political costs.

When, how, and why do states take what kind of action vis-à-vis protests? This article tackles these under-researched questions with respect to Vietnam and Indonesia.

Experts from politics, civil society, development cooperation, and academia gathered in a confidential setting to discuss the current state, key challenges, and future prospects of the JETPs. The aim was to take stock of ongoing developments and explore pathways toward a socially just and ecologically sustainable energy transition through international partnerships.
