LAUNCH OF THE JET-CR COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE FOR JUST ENERGY TRANSITION

August 10, 2023 – The “Innovation Regions for a Just Energy Transition” Project (IKI JET) announced a groundbreaking initiative for knowledge exchange and collaboration. The launch of the “Communities of Practice” (CoPs) marks a significant milestone in the project’s mission to support and accelerate the transition from coal-based energy system and local economies to the low-carbon, climate resilience energy system and sustainable and just local economies.  

The JET-CR Communities of Practice was launched on August 10, 2023. 

The launch was scheduled virtually online with the participation of governmental organizations, public institution representatives, trade unions, women associations, environmental organizations, civil society groups, private sectors, fossil fuel companies, academia from Germany, Colombia, Chile, South Africa, Indonesia, Viet Nam, Thailand, and Mongolia.  

“We have shared goals and shared problems. The CoPs and peer-to-peer exchanges are fundamental to IKI JET. We have to talk among each other and with different stakeholders. It’s relevant to emphasize how valuable all different groups are”, said Sarah Rieseberg, BMWK Policy Officer. She believed: “Governmental organizations, public institutions representatives, trade unions, women associations, environmental organizations, civil society groups, in general, private sectors, fossil fuel companies, academia, …all have different perspectives and things to share. And everyone brings their skills to the table and helps us obtain a just economy, people have a prosperous living in the coal regions”.  

Representing the government sector, Supriono, Regional Assistant of South Sumatra Provincial Government, Indonesia remarked: “We are happy to connect with CoPs to address challenges facing local governments, such as declining fossil fuel production will influence economic development and job creation in the region. By joining the CoPs, the governments can learn to develop effective strategies for mines, green job development and mitigate negative socio-economic impacts”.  

The CoPs will foster collaboration, reciprocity, network, idea, resource sharing, goal alignment, listening, open & honest discussions, workshops and campaigns among the coal regions in Colombia, Chile, South Africa, Indonesia, Viet Nam, Thailand, and Mongolia. Members of CoPs can strengthen strategies mindset, knowledge and harvest good practices to implement a just energy transition.
