In response to climate change as well as international pressure to mitigate the consistent rise in global temperature, countries, including Indonesia, are committed to transitioning from fossil fuels (dirty energy) to more sustainable energy sources. An equitable energy transition, which takes into account environmental and socio-economic impacts, is one of the top priorities of world leaders in their efforts to reduce dirty energy use.
CERAH and the Asia Research Centre, University of Indonesia (ARC UI) conducted a study on Polarization and Development of Alternative Narratives in the Policy Issue of Equitable Energy Transition in Indonesia.
This study seeks to see how the polarization of the energy transition issue rolls out on social media, examine the perceptions and positions of various parties across sectors (private, government, civil society organizations, local communities and journalists) on the energy transition issue in order to develop alternative narratives, and explore the understanding and perceptions of young people who we consider to be one of the key actors of the energy transition issue in the future.
