However, for a sustainable development on the social sphere, it is crucial to include considerations of fairness and equity in transformative activities. This keynote deals with the interlinkages between a global energy transition, different international Lukas Hermwille Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy
frameworks on climate change mitigation, and social justice issues. 13.30-13.45 Keynote II (15 minutes) An NGO perspective on the pathway to renewable energy in Asia Political participation, and an opening of the political discourse is not only a goal, but also crucial to initiate a socio-ecological transformation. Mitigation initiatives to tackle climate change are bound to fail if only pushed by a limited number of top political decision makers. This presentation will focus on the possibilities and limitations of political participation in the field of energy transition in Asia from a civil society perspective.
