Just Transition in Australia and Indonesia

An inclusive, equitable and holistic transition to a green economy in Australia and Indonesia

Australia and Indonesia—two close neighbours in the Asia Pacific—are the world’s largest coal exporters.

Currently, government efforts to ensure a just transition largely focus on fossil fuel workers and regions—a crucial start, but there is of course more to the picture.

CPD envisions a holistic transition to a green economy that is inclusive and equitable for all people and communities.

We know that different communities have different needs, so we advocate for place-based solutions over achieving consistency or a one-size-fits-all approach.

We think a just transition is about ensuring all people benefit, not just big business, so that societies can thrive.
