This event, run by the Hertie School South Asia Society with support from the Centre for Sustainability, will explore the dynamics of North-South cooperation in facilitating a just transition in the energy sector. Featuring a keynote speech by Ms. Saqlain Syedah, Ambassador for Pakistan to Germany.
At COP27, it was widely acknowledged that achieving just transitions demand more than policy changes; it requires a robust social dialogue and inclusive participation of all stakeholders. This imperative extends across borders, encompassing voices from both the Global North and Global South.
Against this backdrop, our event endeavors to delve into the dynamic landscape of North-South cooperation in facilitating a just transition within the energy sector. With a keen focus on shared learning and mutual support, we aim to unveil the transformative potential of these partnerships. Together, we aspire to propel a fair, just, and equitable energy transition that leaves no one behind, fostering collaboration among countries from both the Global North and the Global South.
