Southeast Asia Energy Transition Partnership
The Southeast Asia Energy Transition Partnership (ETP) brings together governments and philanthropies to work with partner countries in the region. We support the transition towards clean energy systems that can ensure economic growth, energy security, and environmental sustainability. Enabling the transition towards greener energy systems will accelerate the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement objectives.
ETP Secretariat, incorporated into UNOPS, will support the Steering Committee (SC) and facilitate the implementation of SC’s decisions. The Secretariat will operate as per defined Terms of Reference approved by the SC. The Secretariat will undertake day-to-day management and operation of the ETP Fund: (1) it launches Calls for Proposal and carries out proposals assessments; (2) it provides assistance and support to implementing partners; (3) facilitates the design, development and implementation of an overall M&E strategy; (4) monitors progress made by each project during the implementation phase.
The Just Coal Transition Forum (JCT Forum) is a project of ETP in collaboration with the World Bank that provides a convening forum for stakeholders to engage with their peers and donors on transitional issues stemming from energy transition.
Just Coal Transition Forum
The JCT Forum supports energy transition in the coal regions in Southeast Asia by providing the much needed coordination of the just transition programs for the benefit of the stakeholders standing to be affected by energy transition and particularly coal phase down. ETP SC provides for the governance of the JCT Forum and the Forum Secretariat will be embedded in the ETP Secretariat.
