Justice and inclusion in the energy transition and developmental finance

The document is a global communiqué from March 2025 detailing a consensus among 28 countries to prioritize justice and inclusivity in the energy transition. It emphasizes the insufficiency of current investment levels in developing countries and calls for the use of concessional financing, technology transfer, and country-specific transition plans to eradicate energy poverty and build climate resilience. The signatories commit to fostering domestic manufacturing, diversifying supply chains, and strengthening regional cooperation projects such as Mission 300 and the RELAC Initiative to align national investment with Paris Agreement goals.

• Current investment levels for energy transitions in developing countries are inadequate, specifically regarding the eradication of energy poverty and the provision of sustainable cooling and clean cooking solutions.
• Country-specific energy transition plans are viewed as essential blueprints that demonstrate a nation's ability to absorb capital in alignment with net-zero goals and principles of equity.
• The transition offers developing countries opportunities to enter global energy markets by diversifying supply chains, including value-added minerals and finished products, with a specific emphasis on the involvement of youth and women.
• Concessional financing, public-private partnerships, and technology transfers from developed nations and the private sector are identified as critical tools for increasing ambition and achieving Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
• The signatories commit to strengthening regional cooperation and specific initiatives to improve investor confidence and mitigate risks, including Mission 300, the AU Agenda 2063, the ASEAN Energy Cooperation agreement, and the Renewable Energy in Latin America and Caribbean (RELAC) Initiative.
