In this powerful session from the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) Asia Community in Action Digital Week, speakers unpack the urgent questions shaping the region’s clean energy future — and challenge the idea that renewable automatically means fair. Moderated by Varun, with insights from Aishka and Jitsai, the conversation dives deep into how energy innovation intersects with climate justice, gender equity, and youth leadership across Asia.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this discussion:

• Why a “just energy transition” must center people, land, and dignity — not just megawatts Global South

• The reality of community displacement from hydropower and large-scale infrastructure
• Who controls climate finance — and why frontline communities are often left out• Why critical minerals and green hydrogen deals raise tough justice questions
• The growing role of youth advisory boards in shaping energy policy
• The hidden labor of women in the care economy — and why a feminist energy transition matters
• How AI, data centers, and rising electricity demand impact Southeast Asia
