Session five which is titled International Regional National and multilateral cooperation to enhance capacity of countries in Asia Pacific in the areas of impact assessment just transition and economic diversification to facilitate the implementation of ndcs and LTS this session will be moderated by sili from undp so can I invite you sji
To please come to the Rostrum can I also invite the speakers for this session you Chong Nam who is the program management senior officer of Southeast Asia energy transition Partnerships Mr suchat Charles who is a senior advisor with Just Energy transition and in Co regions inter Regional platform Thailand Z Thailand
Theo gabinet the regional manager for Eastern Europe Asia and the Pacific NDC partnership over to you Sanji um good morning everyone so the first session today is um as mentioned look hearing from International Regional National and multilateral cooperation to enhance the capacity of countries in the Asia Pacific in the areas of impact
Assessment so we have great speakers lined up today so we have only one hour dedicated for this session so we wanted to use as much time as possible for the Q&A so I’m going to go straight uh with the first speaker so let me kindly invite uh Mr yam he’s a program
Management senior officer southeast Asia energy transition partnership thank you for joining us thank you uh may I ask if the presentation is ready for the intervention yeah uh good morning everybody I am yam I’m the program management senior officer from uh southeast Asia energy attenion partnership managed under the United
Nations office for project services in it’s my pleasure to uh be here and I would like to thank youf tric and the other co-organizers for uh kindly inviting ETP to the uh session and it’s my um honor to be here uh with the country representatives and the
Stakeholders in the group and I would also like to thank uh the moderator Miss sangili so before I jump into the presentation I would like to uh emphasize that this presentation will be focused on South E Asia where ETP our entity is uh focused on as an uh in
Terms of our operational fun fun and to why southeast Asia is relevant for uh this topic of uh the where I am invited today to discuss on so firstly uh Southeast Asian countries of the assian region combines and make a um fifth largest economy in the world with the3
Trillion doll economy and as with the uh vast vast growing economies Pace the country’s uh climate change risk has also been ramped up uh with be attributed by the fastest uh Coal Power capacity expansion in the world after India and China as well so therefore the
Region calls for an urgent need to ramp up uh to transition away from the fossil fuels including coal and to transition to a clean Energy Technologies and in order to do that we need to ramp up Investments to support and accelerate the transition away so in terms of the
Uh the region itself entirely and collectively eight out of the 10 Sal station countries have already committed to Net Zero by 2050 and 2060 respectively uh with the calling for the critical investment needs as soon as possible for required clean energy transition and according to the statistics this calls for from 2021 to
2050 it’s going to uh total almost 1 trillion or to uh an estimation of $970 billion do for the clean and nutrine Investments with renewable with ambitious renewable energy and Energy Efficiency targets so I’d like to uh address in this uh presentation how and en see how southeast Asia energy CH in
Uh partnership is supporting as an International Development partner to support the rapid transition away uh from the uh fossil fuels to the Clean Energy Technologies so before I do that I would like to um introduce uh the logos behind on the bottom of the presentation so we are a a multilateral partnership
Uh of the government and philanthropy uh first of its kind uh supported by the governments of the France UK Canada Germany Australia and philanthropies including children’s investment F Foundation sequa climate Foundation amongst others in order to address the earlier uh challenges the southeast Asia uh uh meets in terms of the elevating
Climate risks one of the first and and foremost importance for the region needs in order to create an a space for the growth of the Clean Energy Technologies is to create an enabling environment for energy transition which reflects the atp’s theory of change in Broad four components this would be to strengthen
The energy climate and energy policy targets and other climate policy targets including renewable energy and Energy Efficiency policies to be aligned with the ambitious climate goals including the NDC uh targets as well as Paris agreement climate goals as well as theg and Net Zero and also to Der risk the
Clean energy transition Technologies to create a room for uh Investments to be going into the um energ energy transition Technologies uh by creating a bankable pipeline of the um Finance financeable uh projects for energy transition as well as to expand the smart grids technology that would enable
The room for the integration of the renewable energy uh to be integrated into a more cleaner and accessible and reliable uh power grid system and also lastly but most importantly is to create a capacity development uh to allow the Region’s energy transition practitioners and um the governments among other key
Stakeholder groups to be cap capable to drive the energy transition Technologies uh towards uh to be aligned with the necessary climate agreement goals to briefly explain about uh ETP in terms of how we uh before going into how we deliver this theory of changes I would like to also explain to you the
Brief background so we were founded uh we were firstly introduced in terms of the concept in uh one planet Summit and climate action Summit in uh 2018 and 2019 initially being uh president macron’s initiative we brought together government and philanthropies uh which comprises our steering committee and the fund uh
Secretariat of the southeast Asia energy transion partnership is managed by the United Nations office for project Services we have a uh Secretariat in Bangkok and we are operational across three countries of Indonesia the Philippines and Vietnam throughout a 15year uh period of time until 2035 and we delivered technical assistances on ground
Um and also other mechanisms of support including Grant uh Grant financings as well as a capacity building support uh in the uh composition of the structure of where we receive guidances from our steering committee uh mentioned by the me aforementioned uh groups of the um governments and the philanthropies with
The Secretariat based in Bangkok who works together with our country teams on ground who works closely with the governments uh particularly of our operational countries of in the Philippines and Vietnam with the um advices uh from our advisory panels which um also apparently we include a Dio who is from NDC partnership is’s
Also the our senior advisor for the advisory panel in the southeast Asia regation partnership uh to come up with the uh to bring back the ETP theory of change earlier I would like to emphasize that um the four of the uh theory of change outcomes that mentioned reflects and collectively aims to
Achieve a create an enabling environment for energy transition Technologies uh to ramp up its speed in terms of uh the growth of uh its a growth of it growth of the clean energy uh in the power system through the technical assistances that ATP aims to provide through and it aims to uh
Target for major climate agreement goals uh including the SGS and P Parish climate goals as as well as the jetp goals by um ramping up by aligning the first of all the uh policy climate targets with uh the agreement goals these include for example introduction of the new energy policies um that uh
Aims to create uh to bring in more uh financeable uh environment for the renewable energy and Energy Efficiency technology goals or upgrading the regulatory Frameworks of the countries uh energy energy regulations as well as laws to reflect the uh latest climate commitments that are being uh announced
At the high level Summits including the cop 26 27 among others in which also the highly anticipated cop 28 as well so some of the highlighted activities that we provide on ground uh includes uh firstly in Indonesia we provide uh upgrades of the uh country’s main PL Java Madura polyd uh to ensure
That that uh it’s to incorporate the scata EMS system to incorporate uh more they will create an Technologies to incorporate more renew energies into the ground so that the country can reach its climate commitment Targets in Philippines we are uh supporting the country to create a um enabling policies
Uh to incorporate the for offshore wind and ocean and Marine Renewables such as the permitting licensing uh for the offure wi Technologies in Vietnam as an example we are supporting the country’s uh ambitious goals to bait Co away uh through various supports such as development of the uh Net Zero emission
Road map for state t Enterprises as well as the um coasa road maps for the state-owned uh asset state-owned Coal Fired power plant assets in terms of the regional level I would also like to highlight a few we are supporting the RC uh Center for Energy as well as the Asen
Cent uh and the Asen member states to establish the support the acceleration of the Asen power grip program um that will create a um Regional multilateral power trading mechanism uh to enable more uh to decarbonize the southeast Asia’s power grid as well as to uh incorporate more renewable energy into
The um uh southeast Asia via the multilateral power trading mechanism so these are some of the highlights and uh in I would Al I would like to highlight one key initiative that’s ETP supporting which is the just core transition platform so um which I would
Like um which will lead to my next slide indicating that how just transition in Southeast Asia also urgently calls for uh the support by the devopment partner Community as well as the international organizations uh with the rapid um the country’s rapid movements towards the Clean Energy System with the coal phase
Out so before I go into the just called transition uh platform I would like to uh note that in Southeast Asia there are a few key initiatives supporting the just transition in the region uh these include um some of the notable ones include uh from G uh as well supported
By the German government there is the Eek jet eek just and nutrition uh me eust energ transition uh platform as well as the adb’s energy transition mechanism uh with the uh co uh concessional finances that was help to phase co- out and also able to ensure the just transition is Incorporated in
The co- phas out emission efforts of the Southeast Asian countries as well as the uh powering Pall Alliance among others who are ambitiously helping uh aiming to ensure that the call phase out happens as soon as possible possible and in order to ensure a smooth phase out of
Call just transition uh is critically um needed it involves early engagement with communities particularly all the stakeholder groups including women that are currently gaining their livelihoods from the coal biop power plant um mines um Cal dependent communities in Southeast Asia and just transition and hence means honest and multidirectional
Conversations about the options of the new livelihoods and because of that about learning the uh stakeholder communities to engage in planning for just transition is critically needed and required and designing and implementing the support programs that will assist and coordinate all the aformentioned just transition uh initiative supported by the development partners and
International Community is critically needed uh to ensure the necessary supports kind uh come in an opportunity opportunistic and timely manner uh to support the new livelihoods in that context uh the etps Just Call Transition platform supports energy as a tool to support the just transition uh in Southeast Asia it
Supports energy transition in the core regions in Southeast Asia by providing the much needed coordination and providing an uh entry point to engage uh and there will be a convening mechanism for the sharing of knowledge and Lessons Learned so that participants can shape and inform vision for just transition
These would uh I will later explain on but these will include a multi- level of Engagement between uh communities municipalities level also are practitioners of the just transition uh as well as devopment partners and financiers who are willing to support the just transition so the platform in
Uh in terms of its character is a collaboration between ETP and the World Bank which will will uh this collaboration hopes to convene multi-stakeholder groups from Co regions particularly in the countries of etps operation of uh Indonesia the Philippines and Vietnam for dialogue and action towards just transition in the
Region by uh serving as an uh engagement model to Comm for Community representatives from C regions to support their learning and capacity building activities so in terms of the sorry in terms of the uh actual components of the uh platform it will help to to create an open platform allowing wide region and
Multi-stakeholder dialogue and providing a space for sharing experience knowledge and best practices on transition related issues between core regions in Southeast Asia and bringing them together for peer through peer dialogue platforms as a way of fostering exchange and transfers of knowledge and experience and building capacity through a learning academy by
Involving relevant stakeholders and transition related issues providing dedicated training to Foster social dialogue uh among the stakeholders impacted by the transition including workers employers informal sector communities civil society as well as the governments the rest of the three uh components would also include active support uh that will we will steer uh to
Help the the community to receive as a recipient of the actual benefit of this platform is by um uh sorry yeah uh coordinating identifying and designing the technical assistance to develop uh just transition supports that will be implemented by the relevant public authorities and designing and procuring and administering uh twinning
Programs that will arrange Study Tours between each uh inter inter exchange of the uh just transition experiences within the AL East Asia as well as among other advanced economies where just transition has been already been an experience that has been U learned before such as uh in the Canada or um
The European for example the Western Balkans in the EU among other advanc regions it would also at the end of its lifetime will include uh develop a sustainability plan uh within the expected four to five years of timeline we hope to find uh the sustainability plan will allow allow uh the just
Transition platform to find its permanent Secretariat home base to be located uh with the success and uh Challen successes that will be uh yielded and showcased through the region uh to ensure that the uh the benefits and the services of the platform that will uh provided by the platform will be
Uh housed on a permanent basis and that will be uh it for my uh presentation and uh look forward to any questions for during the Q&A session thank you um thank you thank you Mr n for the very substantive presentations it’s really great to hear how ETP has
Been supporting the energy transition in the southeast Asia region and we’ll have the Q&A session after hearing from all three panelists so now um I’m going to invite Mr suchart from the gis Thailand to talk about the interregional platform the jetc platform over to you thank
You thank you very much uh for warm welcome thanks and um first let me thank you and FCC for inviting the EET or jcr platform to participate into the panel and also extend the a warm welcome for the second day for our extreme participant and speaker today uh my name
Is suad k I’m a senior energy adviser at uh GSAT working on the Just Energy transition in Co region inter Regional platform so uh a little bit about the project background so the Just Energy transition in cor region in Regional platform or IET or is one part is called jcr so we
Are bring together the government and international organization to support the uh key stakeholder in the cor region in the planning and the also implementing Regional Focus or the just and energy transition away from C toward the uh low carbon system so we starting in December last year uh and uh together
From the BMW K the uh the German Ministry of the climate action and the um German Ministry of the economic Affair and climate action and European Union uh with the share Ambitions to uh support the decarbonization plan in especially in the global South area and also there are strong awareness that uh
Uh we we need to bring the research Innovation and also the policy framework uh that required intern international support and this include the bring the new technology the politic uh policy framework into the uh Global cell regions and that’s why uh EET is set up
To do and so we work with the uh the government as our primary beneficiary and to deliver the exchange on the coace operation Frameworks and to drive away from Co so we have the total of the six consultum partner uh as the GSAT we work as the Consortium coordinator and also
So we have the implementing projects uh from different five organization from the climate Action Network and also the iist we have ILO on the one of the our uh key Implement implenting partner we have the uh International Trade union Confederation and also what institute on the German thing tank to provide the uh
Additional resources uh that they uh combine the lesson learn that uh learning from the Eastern Europe country where they Su successfully transform the uh the coal region into the the new area so here’s the target country uh for our project so today I will uh
Focus uh today I will focus more in the Asia Pacific regions so we also have the uh uh our projects run in South America in Colombia and also in Chile where we do the adip DI company component in as you can see the red uh label is in
Colombia as well that we do more on the technical support size and also the uh the country assessment alive with the the co-ace out plan that they currently have it and also we do support in South America for Asia Pacific we have four country in total starting from Mongolia
Uh Vietnam Thailand and also Indonesia as you can see the red Rebel in Indonesia as we also do the uh in country components support in in specific regions also the the part of the uh jetp program and also the connect to the part of ETP program and ADB project as
Well so here’s uh a quick overview on the projects uh as a overall so we supporting the developing the plan for the Just Energy transition away from core right and also we work in promoting the pacy political dialogue in the global s and facilitating the knowledge exchange collaboration and capacity
Buildings among the uh the uh the country partner and also we provide a platform for the policy maker uh expert and stakeholder from different region that come together like uh one of the presentation yesterday mentioned that is is important to have the platform that bring the research bring the policy
Maker and also the uh science uh and also the uh the data come together so we we aim to be that platform that allow the uh the policy maker to use the most updated data that available and also resources not like the uh not like the
World Bank ADP or the undp program that is targeting at the national level we are targeting in the regional level particular so as that’s that’s why we set up the jcr platforms on the uh supporting in in targeting the regional level and also the uh specific component
That I will provide more detail in the later slide on Indonesia components so here’s is uh our three main we are that what we work so the first one is that we uh create sorry uh we create and strengthen the international Network in cor region by developing the regularity Frameworks
And also facilitating knowledge Ching between the uh east Europe country into this Global sou and also between learning from each other from the globo sou itself let’s say for example in Thailand they about to have they have the co- mining uh PR micral plan and then they can share this uh exactly plan
To the vietnams that is a fair the similar challenge so we can uh connect them and then can learn from each other and also the second one is that we also have the international dialogue as similar to what ETP program have and also even the study tour next month we
Will have the first study tour in Berlin where we bring the our partner not just the uh EET program but also the ETP program that it come to to meet in Berlin and also to to see the uh what activity that already ongoing on the co
PH out in Poland as well and the last one be we aiming to the U serve as a online platforms for the sharing the resource on the case study bra practice on on the Just Energy transition in core regions and also the trying to use this
Platform to to uh uh as the resources for the other country that can replicate the model and Implement in uh in in other country that are facing the similar challenge so I will uh provide more details uh today since we have like limited of times I will give some a
Brief example for the project that we are working on uh in some country and it’s most relevant to me would be in Thailand so in Thailand uh for EET projects we support we work with the eat or the uh electricity authori generating of talent that own the Ki only one Ki in
In talent in the norn part of land called lampang Province so we work with eat at at that eat already have a plan to face out the core uh currently right now they they have the co uh production around 15 million ton per years and they
And if they run at this operational rate they will uh deplete it in the next 15 years but for for eat that try to align with the uh Thailand NC Target so they’re trying to reduce of its capacity by half by the end of uh 2030 so is that
The plan here you can see that is right now from about 2,400 megawatt of the power plant they try to reduce by uh in in 2025 reduce to half of this capacity around 1300 megawatt and from that they will reduce the core use consumption as
Well by 15 million uh 15 million ton per year they will reduce into around 6 million uh ton per year that is uh due to the increased efficiency of the power plant they can reduce the use of Co and ultimately we try to face out uh before
20150 but in order to alive with the uh the target we try to do it early we accelerate the plan that is that’s what e jet try to help them on the review and revision of the the plan the problem that you can see that we try to come up
With the solution the the M eat already have the the quite comprehensive plan on the the Just Energy transition called M green Area road map for the mam green area M they they divide it into the short-term goal and also the long-term goal the short-term one that is EJ can
Help directly is that it’s just is especially for the uh direct and indirect worker that is involved in the kai area around 9,000 people working in the district and it’s huge uh economic impact if this uh this C power plan needs to face off so we look to that and
How can we uh support the the people who are direct and indirect effect from this uh face out so we we look at the the quick win projects or not just about the promoting the green decent job we can also look the other job that is not
Related to the uh to the energy jobs such as the the tourism empowerment and also the the uh promote in in AR area that is uh connect to the shangai area where they have a big city in the northern part of Thailand and create a new uh green industry that is could
Provide the a future benefit for for this for the for the area and also the long-term plan we we supporting this s the m cop power plan is a this Electric System in Thailand is like this centralized system is around 2,400 megawatt up there and then when we Face
Out memo we need to look at the energy security so how can we make sure that is not effect for the regions so also the demand in the northern part of Thailand also similar is around 2,000 so we need to change the system from the uh uh centralized system to decentralized
System that why we support on the uh the uh pH fible study on the renewable and what is could be an option to replace uh by by the coal in in the regions so we come up with the the solar that could be the potential and also the uh biomass
Projects and palum storage the palp storage due to the the comi that’s cow they geographically support from from this projects and also the bomas that is currently developed as the a lot of agricultural ways in the northern part of Thailand we try to uh collect that
And make the pallet the wood pallet and this wood pallet could uh combine with the Lite Coe and then can burn into the in the power plant that it reduce the use of Co consumption and also the in uh keep the same level of efficiency and the co- fighing percentage right now is
Still low but we try to support that in the long terms and also other technical support that you can see on the list I I cannot go over everything by today but is p the the uh the the scope that we are working on in the next two and three years in in
Thailand and another important part that I want to highlight here is the co micral regeneration that is the after the this Co micro what we envisioned on this area could be so we can we try to bring all the stakeholder from not just the national level look at the community
Level to bring their voice into the into the uh decision making process and to make sure that it’s just and just for everyone and left no one behind also we have quick overview in Indonesia that is we are targeting at the two Regional level uh in the two provinces that is uh
The most uh highly highly Co production uh in Indonesia we first one we focus in the East kalimantan where they have the highest co- production in in the uh in Indonesia and also one in the South uh sumata but the project is just started we trying to work together with other
Platform to to make sure that we can can maximize the uh the pro uh benefit from the for the uh people in the community and finally I I I really want to mention is the in Mongolia because is when you talk about the Just Energy transition project is completely news
For the for for the country especially Mongolia is a dependent on coal and it’s a really challenge if they need to face out the coal and how we can support Mongolia in in the Just Energy transition process so we first start it in Mongolia last year is uh quite the
First pilot program for us we look at the the the small area Nala area that is uh look at the kai reg generation and also the great and decent job that work with the academic institution on the on look on what kind of job and we use the
ILO guidance to what kind of job that we need to to rescale and upskill for the people in the community and here’s a quick highlight due to the times uh quick highlight for our project this year so we we have also in Vietnam and also the starting pH face
On the coace out plan and support the Vietnam in in in term of peer-to-peer exchange and we also ensure that we have create the uh the regional network of in Innovation region from Seven partner country and also learn from other country across the across the the
Project across the world and yeah I will end my presentation here thank you for listening um thank you very much for that substantive um presentation as well it’s really good to hear from the work of the jetc platform and I’m sure during the Q&A session we should be able to dive
Deep into those specific country support that you have provided um now um I will invite Mr D gabinet the regional manager of the NDC partnership to share their experience thank you de hi hello uh good morning so thank you for the organizers for for inviting us to this uh Workshop
So as uh s has shared I’m from the NDC partnership and the partnership is of course a us here together seated together that means undp forms a huge part of the NDC partnership as one of our implementing Partners but of course we also rely on uh our other
Implementing Partners such as uh escop as well who else is here at GIS of course and and and uh the respective bilateral uh relationships that we have with the well development Partners or donor countries but I was uh asked to present on you know to provide some
Insights and some of the key takeaways that we’re getting from our engagement with various countries in the Asia Pacific as Asia Pacific region on how many of these countries are already trans transitioning or planning to transition so so but before that uh for those who are not of course still familiar with
NDC partnership I’ll just give a brief introduction and then I’ll talk about the transitions that are happening or about to happen in different region and some potential areas of cooperation uh that means like gaps or maybe potential projects that can be uh developed together with some of our development
Partners here and uh Shameless plug on the support mechanism that we have and that we are offering right now to member countries with regards to their needs for NDC and LTS enhancement and Alignment well maybe Sanji you can also share so the NDC partnership as I’ve said earlier is a global Coalition of
Garments countries like you as well as development Partners such as undp GIS esup FAO uh unops other un agencies Regional development Banks and Regional organizations as well as other iOS the main objective is really to support developing member countries to be able to advance their commitments towards a parce agreement and making
Sure that it’s also aligned with their sustainable development goals and we do this by helping countries of course uh reduce their ghg emissions through the various work that uh our implementing Partners here already supporting you as well as increasing or enhancing the Adaptive capacities as and the resilience of Our
Member countries and by facilitating the mobilization of resources so we’re not a funding agency but what we try to do is help countries develop those project surface those ideas and try to get at least one foot in the door in terms of having you know some initial preliminary discussions with potential funding
Partners so this a very tricky uh discussion topic in terms of how to give a Hu big uh an overview in terms of what different countries in different regions and how they are transitioning because we have at least in my portfolio around 29 countries uh that does not include
Yet the uh non-members of the NDC partnership but at the same time a lot of things are already been are already happening within the country but one of the things that uh we thought would be easier um to sort of use as a source or at least an
Indication of how and where countries are transitioning is of course the countries ndcs and LTS H doesn’t provide you an information what they are doing now but at the very least the commitments that they have made whether unconditionally or conditionally and what they will be doing and how their economy will be
Transitioning in the next s years or with their long-term strategies in the next 30 or 40 years and what better way to present this very uh quick and very dry and very rough um analysis would be a word call so in Central Asia for example what we’re seeing is that of course apart
From uh decarbonization and energy sector they’re also looking at ensuring that they have um they’re also decarbonizing at the other sectors such as AFU I PPU and waste there’s no surprise there but what is quite interesting is also that they they are also trying to ramping ramp up activities related to adaptation because
In all developing member countries NDC most of them anyway adaptation is also there in their n DCS and a lot of Investments substantive Investments made whether directly by the government or through the support of development partners are also being made on water agriculture especially under this you know how countries articulated in terms
Of the security meas under water security energy security and food security the reason why I’m highlighting this is that apart from you know how countries are transitioning out of from fossil fuel sources they’re also trying to transition in to new modes of working or new modes of infrastructure new modes
Of livelihood that are already being impacted by climate change and this is one of the bigger uh concern that we have currently because the energy equation is quck well in comparison to how we’ll be um putting infrastructure for water security F food security is a bit cut and
Dry in Southeast Asia tells a similar story again no surprises there in terms of what they are aiming for their mitigation targets um Agriculture and Agri forestry uh are on the main highlights um in terms of where they are um aiming to decarbonize but also looking at the
Adaptation side of the equation you’ll see more DRM related type of um targets or goals that means more infrastructure more people needed um to put up this infrastructure and to maintain this infrastructure that means a whole cottage industry of different businesses private and public that will require that will be required
To climate proof um their critical infrastructure system including road networks and as I will be sharing earlier this where many countries are now starting to see the stumbling blocks that means yes we know what to do but we don’t have the means and that goes beyond financing
That means people that means a local um labor force labor that’s needed the engineers that um are required to design this uh new resilient or climate proof um or climate resilient infrastructure they’re nowhere to be found within the country so they have to rely on fly in fly out
Consultants and the pic Pacific again no um surprises there oh probably a bit of surprising but really a lot of Pacific countries are targeting Almost 100% renewable energy generation for their uh at least household connections but they’re also looking towards energy carbon uh energy storage uh because a lot of many of these
Countries are geographically um fragmented means they have a lot of remote islands where yes you have may have facilities for wind and solar but there’s really no way to store that energy let’s say for the rainy days again you will see on the adaptation side and like emphasis on
DRM resilient infrastructure systems and it’s articulation again in terms of putting water food under the security umbrella that means they need to be bit more resilient and even for energy it’s actually not not there but on my recent visits to the Pacific Islands one of the biggest realization during the pandemic
Was to really enhance their energy resilience that means not really heavily depending on fossil fuel which you know they can be held hostage in terms of the prices if things go sour somewhere else in the world now in terms of LTS it’s not um there’s only about nine countries who
Have submitted their NTS and the unfc but correct me if I’m wrong but of course a lot of this will be talking about Net Zero by 2050 neutral carbon neutral by 2050 but again looking at energy food um in terms of you know how can we secure this for the future Generations
So that you know the economy can continue running economy can continue to grow and there’s also some attention that’s being put on um carbon especially blue carbon now giving that you know very brief overview or brief highlight on where and how countries are uh transitioning how and where can we work
Together as development partners and also in terms of what we are learning from on the ground I won’t be going through all of this list but these are just some of the actions that are already being implemented On The Ground by our implementing Partners but I’d
Like to also put and again uh Focus your attention on the last one which is on adapting to climate impacts particularly in terms of early warning system the early warning system is just not about the infrastructure itself but also trying to um inform involve the community and also
Upskill your hydromat agencies in terms of how they can uh do better forecasting that means better forecasting skills but at the same time utilizing um bridging this in new set of information that can be actually used by your agriculture officers or your extension workers on the ground so they
Can provide timely and very relevant advisory services to the farmers again not um and and again looking at the different infrastructure challenges that uh a lot of uh Island developing States as well as least developed countries will need to make in the next coming years and speaking of that I’m
Not sure if you’ve heard but just yesterday around probably not more than 10,000 have perished because because of this like um uh flooding is a burst and in in Libya and just one of this is of course this perennial challenge in terms of flood management infrastructure uh in that region and
Specifically in that country that’s one of the biggest U of course deficiencies now some of the emerging uh not really issues but again areas for cooperation or some of the questions that we are hearing from the ground are around this impacts the ongoing impacts to the government’s fiscal space that are
Already impacting the bureaucratic capacities also of the government to do normal development well I’m calling it normal but this is you know your plain vanilla development work and and this is already true in many countries for example in in in Maldives alone they have to totally um redo the way they get water
And it’s now they’re highly reliant on this alienation technology which required Investments uh Capital Investments at the same time trying to have a local Workforce that will be able to Service uh you know those plants and also plan out the different household water connections so it’s a transition to that
Type of uh uh water source other countries are getting a bit more Reliant also especially the ones islands that are relocated in remote places on wind and solar again and some countries they don’t even have enough solar Engineers to be servicing uh those solar panels that are
Located in different apples this is is where we are lagging behind there are also bottlenecks in terms of volue chain specifically when we talk about after sale service you have now this Eun vehicle so who will be servicing them is there enough uh motor vehicle repair
Shops that will be able to fix uh do some quick fix on the battery or on the engine that’s also a huge question and parts and this is the parts is two story one is um issue of proprietary Parts this is a big question especially in developing
Countries and the other one is actually having to fly people in to service those parts because a lot of this Parts especially for the battery control are so proprietary that you have to fly in someone from China someone from Korea to service those and you need someone if we
Have have to transition really in this pathway we need someone in the country to be servicing those parts 24/7 the other one is of course there’s Skilling because of differing technology standards there’s also limitations in terms of labor pool as well as limited access to vacational and extension Training Services in many countries
Specifically agricultural Training Services and there’s also implications in terms of how this transition and jobs are also you know um impacting culture and we also have to do more work in terms of economy-wide approaches to adaptation so I’ve been told to wrap up but key messages transitioning is
Already happening in various parts of the world ideas implementation processes require legs to work and legs for them to run they require financing that are adequate and predictable and there are also limits in terms of how we can further expand and reconfigure our Workforce for Workforce
To uh address the transition and this is something that we have to fully acknowledge especially uh within the Garment when I say we need a garment because of this climate change uh an environmental management office that is screwed by one person has now grown to 20 just because
Of climate change and there will be limits to that and again not going through in detail but um we also have to talk about the just elements and the other aspects of transition whether they’re in technology transfer Investments and financing and a very quick plugin and very useful one uh
We have launched last year thematic call on LTS and ndc’s Alignment update and enhancement this is a service offering that’s available to all of our member countries and I’m looking at the names here and most yes most of you are members of the nship or all of you are members of the NC
Partnership and you can receive support in terms of Preparatory if you don’t know yet what you need to update and what you need to enhance or what you need to develop that’s something that we can respond to it can be on the update or enhancement or development of the LTS
Or the ndcs themselves that’s also possible but one of the things that are one of the thing that’s more relevant to this uh workship is of course promoting long-term transformation action and this is for countries with and LTS or LTS already it it’s really focused on Paradigm shifting policies and
Institutional Frameworks that would uh contribute to jump starting this transformation and this transition um the key idea is if you need analytics or studies or policy development related support um related to this then um the NDC partnership through its implementing Partners will be in a position to provide resources for you so that’s
It thank you D thank you so much for sharing this insights from the ground let’s give him an Applause um I think we have 10 more minutes if it’s okay we started 10 minutes later so it is really great to hear from those the speakers today right
Yesterday we have heard more from the global perspective and how the UN agencies and the KCI have been providing support on impact assessment and just transition energy transition today we did dive into this asia-pacific region and was really great to hear from different speakers today and they have all highlighted the importance of
Knowledge sharing as we have heard there’s no answer shortcut or a def defined pathway towards adjust transition or low emission development strategies so it’s great to have this peer-to-peer session so without further Ado I would like to open the floor for questions we’ll have about 10 minutes so if you have any
Questions for the speakers today please let me know yes uh from Jordan please go ahead well thank you so much thank all of the speakers it’s a comment much more than a question since we are talking about just transition and as as it is and for developing any country and you
Should go for the most vulnerable people and we are talking about a huge amount of people who are working in coal mining on on those things y who needs to just when we when the transition comes for the energy the energy itself the electricity from Renewables and things like that
After all it’s a commodity and it has a revenue for whomever who will work within it so the development with the Renewables it will come whether we like it or not it is coming but the matter is that y I assume that we should concentrate much more for the adaptation
For the economical and the ecosystem values and the ecosystem services that we can provide locals y as as a replacement of their working in in in coal mining and to to to to find some green jobs or some new kind of income places for them instead of
That uh although even the names the the the energy transition panel or the work of GIS the NC partnership we are so proud any of those entities but also we should concentrate much more on the adaptation scheme thank you thank you so much for that valuable inputs of course adaptation is important
I don’t know if any panels wanted to comment on that of course creating the jobs green jobs in the ecosystem biodiversity preservation and so on so I’ll just take that and maybe go for the next uh question hi good morning um the our colleague from the gis because you
Mentioned that you’ve been providing assistance to the C communities so I’m wondering if uh what kind of social protection programs have you um institutionalized or help establish in those communities um let’s take one more question I think from yeah let’s go ahead yeah thank thank you for the
Presentations and for the efforts put on these presentations um uh my question is regarding the the the common theme that we see around and what I understand many of the countries have been putting uh Energy Efficiency moving to lower carbon uh Technologies Agro forestry so there are like different actions that
Happening across different countries um also uh one of the SL uh many of the presenters have provided examples of which techn techologies has been used such as solar PV and also ccs and uh carbon capture uh uh in regards uh to to that uh and we also understand
The limitations some of the limitations that has been mentioned earlier in the presentation regarding remote areas or rural areas uh regarding the gr the solar some climate uh uh some countries don’t work with solar very well or they don’t have the capacity for uh solar
Um my question is how do we balance out the energy poverty some of these areas uh generally in Asia Pacific region that has uh uh this limitation but also using technological options that are available within uh uh scale and also while enabling those countries to use their own natural resources in a
Sustainable manner uh to me in that regard it provides energy security provides accessibility to energy many count don’t access access to energy how do we balance how do we balance this and this just uh uh world that we we are trying to achieve for and how do we bance and how
Do we balance impacts of certain policy inter on that thank you very much very much that question question comment the first question is how do we ensure question is specifically to the G what was your assistant toing areas what kind support has been provided and third
Question is for all panelists how do we balance the issue of energy access and energy transition that is also to do theurban and energ there’s a bit of a component related to the difference in the capacity and Technology as well so that question goes to all I’m going to invite
Yes I I can address the the second question first regarding to the the the program that we support I give cont in Talent we look into because we supporting at the regional level District Lev as I mentioned right so basically what we have support in the M uh
District for the social protection that we look into the uh the we work with the memo wom Development Fund they have the they have the funding that is basically every unit of the whole generation they need like a 2% two St of that money into this funding and this funding is the can
Use as a part of the uh the local development and this funding is manage managed by the uh the committee from the me uh memo development wom Development Fund so basically this is the first one that we look into and also we also have the in country in depth support so the
First start that we every country in from Seven country we have the uh assessment specific in the district that we try to support on the just transition and we look at the what they need the most based on the uh technical aspect based on the policy complexity of each
District so we look at that and then we provide the we have also the financial support within the a certain money that can uh provide into the community and also the to ensure that who can manage that money and make sure that money is sustained we we try to uh uh encourage
The the community leader to to be a part of that committee for example one of the really nice project that ongoing is a pallet that is a they have the the wooden pallet that they’re trying to um collect all the agricultural waste in the regions and then they bring into the
In subdistrict they have five subdistrict in total and then uh we support on the techn technology part on that and we look into the uh technical transfer that is that we can uh after we left uh the the people in the community can run the project in the long terms
And also the the part of eia assessment that in memo they will do the comi Regeneration they they need to involve the people from the community to be a part of the the plan especially on the cor mic plan in memo area yeah um thank
You very much do you want to also come in on other questions um yeah for for other question I I think it’s uh as I mentioned is like is challenging in in when we look at the different country different um context different region they will have a different uh issue and
We need to prioritize that based on the based on the assessment what what we look into I I might say one of the example that is very good in in Asia Pacific would be Indonesia on the disc ability Regional Island strategy on what is the for example in the term of energy
Uh strategy on the renewable because they need to face out the Coe and what area what kind of technology that need to replace in each island is different let’s say some Island that have geothermal some island is the cheapest option some is they can do the hydrogen
Some Island they can do only wind that the high high wind capacity is depend on the uh uh the context of reach uh the the area I I I say that’s based on the technical aspects and also the poliy also they play play an important role
Because is when it’s come to context of um let’s say Thailand and Vietnam in promoting the renewable energy if like the if the government the national policy that allows the uh the the investor or the the private sector come into and then promote into that part
Like vetnam this could be like a make the significant change on the transition but R in Thailand example they have limit on Recreation that’s why it’s quite challenge for for for for tent to to do the same thing yeah okay thank you thank you so much for that uh maybe y or
D wanted to come in on any other two questions yes yeah maybe I could uh quickly add a bit to Kun uh sart’s comment on the very last one uh just the bit in the context of time as well so for ETP as well we have uh as in
Through the course of implementation to support the energy Trans in Southeast Asia especially in the context of um the expanding the energy changing Technologies to be more accessible one of the uh key uh experiences that we would like to share is that the most important thing uh one of the most
Important things we like to highlight is scaling up the energy transition Technologies is crucial to uh reduce the cost uh of the access access to the Clean Energy Technologies and uh by doing that we aim to provide a few supports including uh such as introducing Pilots of the new business
Concepts and uh models of the renewable energy as as well as the Energy Efficiency uh Technologies to uh to prove the bankability and viability of the energy chip projects uh to the investors and financiers and financial institutions to scale up the energy chion however uh this is not uh however
The potential of the these energy changing Technologies are virtually um tapped yet this bankability and fin uh uh financi ability uh by the investors uh due to the lack of awareness and then the understanding of the uh bankability of these projects amongst the financial institutions as well as um the risks uh
The the risks are are still perceived among these financiers very high and therefore uh to be able to unlock uh these impediments to uh bring in Greater investment to scale up the Energy changeing Technologies to be making sure that this is accessible to all the um recipients
Of the uh these benefits of these Clean Energy Technologies are uh crucial and in this ense I think the development partners and International Community play a greater role in engaging not only through the um central government level but also through the municipalities for example we engaging with the
Municipality level of uh support we are supporting the Barm the autonomous region in the Philippines to support to scale the Energy Efficiency development in the um in the Philippines and uh which we would like to uh emphasize that diment Partners could create create a greater role in not only bringing the necessary Finance
But coordinate greater Finance from the financial sector to uh for investments into these energy chion technology yeah you thank you very much now I’m going to move to Dale yes just wanted to answer Jordanian colleagues question and ation so I cannot this is not a again a cut and dry
Answer in terms of how we can address the limitations in terms of what we’re doing now with adaptation but at least what we can share what I can share is what we’re doing at the NDC partnership in terms of how we are currently supporting a number of countries most of
Them SIDS at least in the in this region in terms of developing a pipeline of adaptation projects um and looking at it specifically from an investment lens that means from a whole economy perspective ensuring that we’re not just you know developing pipeline of projects that are being that will be implemented
In isolation they making sure also and most making sure that this projects can be sustained and that they actually have an ecosystem of support and and their enabling Frameworks within the government that would sustain this projects beyond the implementation period and what does mean is not just
Continue operating what has been done or delivered in that project but also for example looking at the livelihoods of the people that have we have transitioned to let’s say do more sustainable means of Tourism or look into sustainable cropping uh practices there needs to be support services that
Will enable and allow this communities this livelihood to continue up you know outside of project impementation period and that could be you know extension services ensuring that there’s a proper supply chain that will provide after market after sales um support and what have you but again the important is not
Looking at the adaptation projects as a standalone project we’re looking at it from an investment lens thank you Dale these are really good questions right we are talking about the energy transition versus the energy access issues we’re talking about the transition beyond the energy and what what do we do in the
Adaptation sector and also those who are employed and doing the work there so I think that brought a lot of other questions as well uh I see R has raised her hand and there’s actually two more Peter and maybe Professor Wang Mo so that and then we’re going to close the
Session thank you uh thank you SJ uh I’m not sure how this system works but I think I got dropped off the queue twice so this is the third time I’ve pressed it so thank you very much for the floor uh my question pertains to uh the first
Two presentations that were made uh during the session these were really informative and uh one thing I that I would want to get your views on is that energy transition will mean different things to different countries and uh when we talk of energy transition it is normally you know mentioned in terms of
Moving away from coal so how are all these Partnerships that is ETP and others also uh considering the differentiation of these transitions within the economies and is there a special consideration or special approach for the uh countries which have coal as the major energy endowment you
Know as the energy resource so I just would want to pick your views on that thank you thank thank you CH for that important question uh I’m going to now give the floor to Professor Wong and then Peter thanks thank you uh chair um thank you the presenters a very
Much informative one uh uh my first question would be for the ET uh energy transition partnership right uh so what what uh so we we know that there’s a just transition and just Ander transition partnership which is leading by G7 uh I’m not sure what what what does the connections between the
At and transition partnership or ATP with JP at the same the same or or are they a a different uh uh mechanisms uh so uh and and my second question is for uh JZ colleague yeah this is uh very much appreciate for you sharing that is a concrete actually uh example or or
Product for just cation I know I a view you have Define that is the the pathway to withdraw the the code production already uh to uh m to the year 2050 yeah it’s a long way to go and I I I see that the trend of the sharing of the
Production for the Cod site uh but uh in that process there lot of um uh job opportunity will be lose in code sector and just now you have said you will allocated a certain amount of money for individual people so I my question is do
You have any kind of plan uh which may be involved in introducing of new Industries in that area to instead of the cone uh or you just leave uh give money to people they just Finance themselves to find job so this is uh look like a very bottom up way but but
Do you have some kind of a top down uh design for that area for example for maybe just transition plan which is not for maybe next 20 30 years that to Leading people to transfer into another sector uh other than you you give some cash or money for the people uh and and
Let them do Thats So I think this is more important because we uh we’re learning from your experiences we trying to learning from the experiences of this case so but I think more important that is we learn some the policy um um indication or or existing uh uh or experiences good experien in
Policy making from government uh perspective to guiding that uh transition and another point I wish to make is uh uh just now we have discuss quite a lot of trans energ transition and and just any trans I this a total different um item um so for energy transition that should be more focused
On mitigation area because that is uh uh that is actually emission reduction policies but for response meor as we as for just transation I guess we should more more focus on the Just Energy transation because we need to think about more about the social dimension of the policy uh uh indication or the
Policy impact to society so this is what we need to learn from the just transation of sorry from the responsive mayor topic or the form uh I think this the last one is just my point my my comment thank you very much thank you Mr
Wang uh now Peter thank you uh thank you I’ll be very brief first thanks for very uh good uh presentations by the presenters earlier uh and I like to also thank kusum and a team uh for choosing the right title a very excellent title for this session uh I’m referring to the
Notion of cooperation I think cooperation is critical uh at the regional level uh and also at the international level if all of us are going to meet 1.5 degrees goal so in that regard on the issue of Corporation of course is emphasized in shamal Shake
As well as Glasgow I uh on the issue of uh Corporation if I can just uh illustrate one example uh with with the example of Singapore as all of you know Singapore is small island City State uh we import for all our energy needs we don’t do not have renewable energy
Options so there we therefore we need to collaborate with our our asan partners so in this regard uh although we don’t do not have indigenous renewable energy sources we have undertaken to import uh to eventually make up about 30% of our Energy Mix or Renewables from our neighboring countries in that regard in
The theme of cooperation uh on the issue of regional power grids we have commenced the Laos Thailand Malaysia Singapore power integration project in June last year uh this is significant because this is the first example of four countries collaborating uh through Regional GDs and recently we
Are going to undertake a similar uh uh import of clean energy from Indonesia so uh I just want to emphasize this that cooperation is important why am I emphasizing the notion of cooperation uh because the there’s no one size fits all as other speakers have said the Paris agreement is founded on National
Circumstances the pathways are going has to be will be different because countries are differently situated therefore uh I uh you know just take one example the renewable energy capacity there is now a proposal to Triple renewable energy capacity to three times is a great objective but the fact of the
Matter is just citing Singapore’s example and I believe other small island States not everybody will be a able to meet that Target so in that regard I just want to uh thank our Indian counterparts uh for the recent G20 leaders uh statement which I thought uh struck the right tone talking about
Encouraging countries to meet the notion of encouragement is in line with the Paris agreement about National circumstances and National determination so I it’s not a question but I just wanted to put this comment because it’s uh very relevant to this discussion that there is no one siiz single Silver
Bullet response to meeting the 1.5 degree celsius thank you thank you Fe Peter and thank you for also highlighting this Regional cooperation and talking about this uh Regional power Gres so um to summarize I think we have about three or four questions the first is a very important question that this
Is the regional organization inter Regional organization that is supporting the just transition efforts but how do you you take into account those specific country country specific specific realities in their socioeconomic approach um and the second question is profess from Professor Wong I think to Mr n how do you what’s the connection
Between the jetp ETP and then the another question is what is the plan for uh those job losses in the coal uh mining industri is there any plan for economic diversification other than just a cash transfer what kind of other um opportunities are out there so I’m going
To stop there and maybe in IFI maybe start with the Mr num this time and then we’ll go with d afterwards thank you yeah sure uh thank you very much maybe I can uh briefly address a few of these questions hopefully we have enough time or I can uh be effectively address these
Questions so uh yes uh we do uh observe that energy tension in different countries context are uh different and each country have different climate commitment goals in terms of the grous gas emission reduction as well as the their National energy agenda subject to the endowments of the national resources
Of the these countries in uh in combination with their uh National Climate commitment goals uh in etps context we Broad in terms of our support to explain uh the energy chion is that it uh is a combination not only of the phasing down of coal but then also the
Growth of the Energy transion Technologies meaning that uh slowly fading the U Reliance of the Count’s um Reliance on coal in the energy power mix uh uh and to transition uh creating extra room a greater room for the renewable energy to play a role in the National Energy Mix and consider that uh
Noting these differences however I would like to note that uh with the upcoming uh with the coming announcements of the net zero emissions and all the ambition goals it is inevitable to facee call out uh to ensure sure that the uh countries reach the uh these climate emission
Goals by uh the their respective targets of 2040 2050 2060 and without it uh the full energy transition for the uh with the full uh clean energy transition uh technologies will be impossible and hence um it will be a combination of the both phasing cold down and also creating
A room for the energy Chang Technologies uh to grow at the same time to ensure that uh the region especially in the context of Southeast Asia and also uh logically applying this into in the other geographical regions it is inevitable to uh emit the concept of the
Phasing cold down in order to achieve the Net Zero emission goals by uh these uh highlighted targets and uh coming to the second question and terms of the difference so uh just to first of all noting the first commonalities that uh amongst the funders of uh both of these
Initiatives ETP JP we do share our funders for example we are funded by the government of the France Germany uh as France Germany uh as well as other G7 countries who are also uh participating in the jetp initiative however uh JP’s uh main uh mechanism is to share my
Personal understanding is the bringing the finance from the uh from the G7 countries but also the majorly the private financiers especially the G fans uh with the major uh instrumental tool of the concessional finances to close down the uh cold fire power plants in these uh jetp Target countries of the
South Africa uh Vietnam and Indonesia uh supported by the jetp secretaria which are commonly led by the country government itself uh for ETP we are supporting we do not provide direct uh concessional financial support but we provide techn uh high level technical assistance in terms of the policy level
Uh with the technical advisory including the road maps and the mechanisms uh and the necessary studies on how coal PH down and among other key crucial energy policies can uh kick in as well as the risking and unlocking uh the finances from uh such private financiers like
Gans can come in to uh facee cold down for example just I would like to highlight a few works that we do in that Essence is that we support in Indonesia we support the government uh the esdm the ministry of energy and mineral resources to develop the uh its core
Retirement road map and the Net Zero emission road map and support the uh we also at the moment concurrently supporting the jetp Secretariat’s replacing of the experts to do modeling uh for call PH down and in Vietnam WEP provides uh support to Ministry of industry and trade as well as the call
Um the cmsc which is the uh uh Min focal Ministry managing the state-owned assets of the uh of the government of the Vietnam to a the development of Net Zero transition strategies uh for just transition and Net Zero uh transition road map for Co state owned Enterprises
Uh for uh in the Philippines we have a uh we are developing a new catalytic program called transcend program which is a technical advisory uh service at the same time a revolving fund aimed at the financial transactions and financial engineering required to face the cold down so in
These Essence uh in the commonality of our support will be providing a technical advisory support on the high level in terms of the policy level and showcasing pilot projects to the risk Energy chion Technologies and unlock uh uh providing the mechanisms and Pathways to uh lock uh cold down which is still
Uh in comparison to the jetp is a whole different magnitude where they aim to uh entirely uh fa pH cold down to support the country’s Net Zero emission uh achievement okay um given the time I think we might have to just invite the rest of the speakers for the final
Remarks and maybe if we can speak on some of those questions that were raised and then we’ll have to unfortunately wrap up but hopefully the the panelists will stay so you can also come forward and ask any questions sorry about that but maybe Dale do you wanted to respond
To any question yeah uh well respond to any question yeah um maybe just very quickly on the jet so jetp so for jetp I think one of the core principles well core elements of jetp is the country’s resour mobilization plan which is you know done through consultations within
The country and negotiated by their ministries of Finance ministries of Foreign Affairs to make sure that it is really reflective of you know this combination of the things issues that you guys have brought out and that is really reflective of the realities of the country and it’s not just you know
Because they want to transition out of particular uh source of um energy generation uh energy source which brings me to I think one of of the earlier questions on how countries with like huge probably coal reserves or either other Foss fuel resource will be able to transition out
Now I I think many countries with in in that situation are looking at transition energy transition from a diversification perspective again going back to this energy resilience and energy security and also taking what we have learned from the recent pandemic that we cannot be trapped on a single energy source
Alone by diversifying we are also able to transition out uh maybe not in depending on the scale and the speed that the country wants it to do but diversification needs to be there for resilience purposes and in some countries they’re doing that for example all year round
They are relying on their hydrop power because they have hydr power huge hydropower resources but during winter time they have to go back to Coal because at the end of the day they need need to stabilize their grid and to stabilize their grid you need different sources of energy that are reliable at
Different times of the day or different times of the year so great uh thanks do and then maybe Mr sart maybe you can briefly talk on that question under the call mining thank you yes very brief on the how we decide into for GS we look
Into the for thematic area for for the for the just transition context on the look at assessment for country and we will see like uh this country is suitable for the just transition uh strategy the green and just economy energy and Justice and also the cor microsure let’s say for example in South
Africa and Thailand is a more on the co microsure context we work on that particularity but in Mongolia is Vietnam is quite relying on coal and we cannot face out away we look more on the just this strategy and also the green energy and Justice that other aspect of the uh
Energy transition so we have like a full ttic area that we uh we try to add the country in into the context and also the uh at the national level poliy we we we work also like in parallel with the national level especially on the uh Power development plan because it in it
In Thailand in particular power development plan is something that determine that you are going to use this core or not and how how we how can decide the what are uh in decentralized system like uh how can uh use the renewable in particular region that connected to the uh uh AR job that
Support uh the the people in in the kai region to work in other job that related to the uh to the uh green jobs and also the we have the AR project then run run in parallel called the re Rec cultivate program that is more cultural training
And it’s more like the specifically for the uh res skill and upskill for the job and also this like we we involve a lot of the pr private Stak private PR private partnership rather than the cash funding so it’s more like the uh uh bring the stakeholder come to the BR the
Private stakeholder come to the program because it I think is to create the long-term development I think we need a lot of private especially in the cont of Thailand yeah thank you so much I hope that has all answered your questions and let’s give a big round of applause to
Our panelists for a very useful presentation and sharing the insights um so we’ll close this session and then I will invite uh Kum for delivering on this the next session thank you
