Public perceptions of equitable energy transition policies appear diverse when viewed in more detail based on demographics: Geographic location, occupation, gender, and age. This difference was found in a Survey & Analysis conducted by CERAH and Markdata on key stakeholders in 3 regions (East Kalimantan, South Sumatra and West Java).
Through purposive sampling method and structured interview model, this difference in perception was found on a number of layers such as level of awareness, attitude and behaviour, to aspirations and concerns about the impact of energy transition policy. The factors that influence the support or rejection of each respondent, as well as the key aspects that influence their opinions, were analysed.
The findings and analysis show that despite some specific concerns voiced, the majority of stakeholders support the implementation of an equitable energy transition because they understand the importance of reducing the negative impacts of using fossil fuels such as coal, as well as the potential economic benefits such as the creation of new jobs.
