If the #EnergyTransition is to be truly just, it must centre the voices, needs, and leadership of women and underrepresented communities.
From clean cooking to solar-powered irrigation, gender inclusion fuels progress. 👇

Despite 🌎 progress in clean energy, millions still lack access to affordable, reliable power. The effects are most keenly felt by women & disadvantaged groups often excluded from decisions shaping energy systems.

➕LNG projects take years to come online, yet markets are expected to be oversupplied amid growing 🌎 production & weakening demand forecasts.
Increasing LNG exports won't create #EnergySecurity for importers or address economic concerns in #Canada.

"#LNG is a fossil fuel. It emits greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain," IISD’s Steven Haig says.
Canada is looking to ⬆️ LNG production up to 100 mn tonnes/yr—yet IISD experts warn this carries serious economic & climate risks.

☀️Solar irrigation technology can power more than just water systems.
🆕 research finds power from solar pumps offers opportunities for #CleanCooking including electric pressure cookers but design must consider consumer preferences & policies must support adoption.

Fossil fuel subsidies will not provide #EnergySecurity — in fact they perpetuate the risks.
Volatile fossil fuel markets leave gov'ts vulnerable to geopolitical tension & price shocks. Subsidy reform ➕ clean energy can support domestic, affordable energy.

We’re pleased to partner with Universitas Pertamina to generate policy-relevant evidence for Indonesia’s key energy decision makers — supporting a smooth transition that balances decarbonization with the need for an affordable, reliable, and diversified energy supply.
The future of Indonesia’s oil and gas sector lies in its transformation.
Transitioning traditional energy assets into drivers of sustainable growth is a strategic shift that requires robust evidence to inform sound policy decisions.
IISD’s Francesse Joy Cordon-Navarro noted:
"Across Jakarta, Manila, & Hanoi, similar questions emerge—Will this be fair? Where will the revenue go? Our commitment is to provide data-driven answers that ensure the transition is workable & owned by the communities it serves."

5️⃣ Long-term regulatory predictability is vital to build investor confidence & manage the Total Cost of Ownership for new technologies.
A consistent roadmap of incentives helps the private sector and consumers transition permanently away from high-emission alternatives.
6/7
4️⃣ Sustainable transportation requires a system-wide transformation, not just a technological shift to EVs.
To be effective, policy must integrate better public transit & urban mobility planning, while also aligning regulations, fiscal incentives, & infrastructure planning.
