Planeación e implementación de transiciones justas: oportunidades para la cooperación Sur-Sur

The briefing examines the limitations of North-South Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs), specifically regarding funding, local ownership, and equity. It proposes South-South cooperation as a complementary approach that leverages peer learning and context-specific solutions to integrate local development needs like energy access and job creation. Using the experiences of South Africa and Colombia, the text identifies specific areas for collaboration, including mine closures and green industrialization, while noting that institutional support and inclusive participation are necessary to achieve transformative development goals.

• Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs), as a form of North-South cooperation, face significant constraints related to funding, local ownership, and implementation equity.
• South-South cooperation offers a complementary alternative to JETPs by prioritizing holistic, justice-based approaches and local development needs—such as energy access, job creation, and sociopolitical inclusion—rather than the techno-economic frameworks and donor agendas typical of North-South partnerships.
• South Africa and Colombia serve as examples of the challenges of implementing just transitions, but they possess significant potential for mutual cooperation in areas such as green industrialization, institutional coordination, benefit sharing among communities, and mine closures.
