2022 Just Energy Transition Conference Report_ENG
With the slogan “Leaving no one behind”, the CDD Just Energy Transition Conference held in Maputo on July 21, 2022, has tracked the challenges and opportunities on energy access and energy transition in Mozambique. Almost 20 speakers from relevant fields contributes and discussed on the promotion of equality of opportunity and social inclusion in investing in affordable, decentralised mixed-energy systems. They remarked on the dimension of inclusion in the energy transition, the youth/gender perspectives and the role of civil society on the ground. How to accelerate access to energy in Mozambique, intensify the deployment of renewable energy, and achieve economic growth? This was one of the main issues discussed on the panels designed scenarios for a transformational policy, implications of international measures on the domestic economy and opportunity to diversify the economy.

Statement of<br />
the Director<br />
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is a<br />
global imperative. Resource-rich countries such as<br />
Mozambique are challenged to adapt their governance<br />
model to manage their resources more e ectively and<br />
become more resilient to climate change.<br />

As the world has recently witnessed, Mozambique<br />
faces the most severe e ects of climate change,<br />
despite being a nation least responsible for the<br />
problem. Intense and frequent droughts, oods and<br />
severe storms have already a ected the lives of 70% of<br />
the population. Among other emerging measures,<br />
adaptation to climate change involves adopting an<br />
appropriate energy-transition model in policy<br />
formulation.<br />
The energy transition must be understood as a complex<br />
process that requires the involvement of multiple<br />
stakeholders. Some of the challenges of the energy<br />
transition are related to the lack of trust, transparency,<br />
inadequate or unstable nancing of the process and<br />
disconnection between actors, which results in isolated<br />
initiatives with little impact.<br />
In this regard, civil society can contribute to building a<br />
more responsible and legitimate state, leading to<br />
greater social cohesion and inclusive development.<br />
With the slogan “Leaving no one behind”, the CDD <strong>Just</strong><br />
<strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Transition</strong> Programme aims to promote the<br />
involvement of all stakeholders to generate a<br />
sustainable process that improves the well-being of<br />
people, the environment and the economy.<br />
