Equity and the Global Climate Finance Architecture: An Evaluation of the Just Transition Partnership (JETP) Framework
Equity and the Global Climate Finance Architecture:
An Evaluation of the JETP Framework.
About the Project
This project examines the Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs) as a modality for mobilising and delivering climate finance to developing countries. These partnerships represent a new frontier in international cooperation and climate justice efforts.
Currently being implemented in South Africa, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Senegal, JETPs are being hailed as novel platforms for supporting developing countries to accelerate transitions to low-carbon and climate-resilient economies while addressing socio-economic transition risks. Each country brings its own challenges and opportunities, making the study of these partnerships both complex and rewarding. We are analysing the plans, processes, and practices in the JETP countries with the broader objective of understanding whether these multi-donor partnerships serve as models of financing global climate transitions.
This analysis includes not just financial mechanisms but also governance structures, stakeholder engagement, and implementation timelines. We are taking a holistic look at the JETP landscape, including the intersections of energy transition policies with domestic social and economic policies and domestic and international legal, policy, and regulatory frameworks. This multi-dimensional approach allows us to assess how well-aligned these partnerships are with principles of equity, justice, and sustainability.
This research is part of an ongoing academic and civil society collaboration under the auspices of the Climate Finance for Equitable Transitions (CLIFT). Through CLIFT, we aim to contribute meaningful insights to global debates on climate finance and development.

Future Vision and Next Steps
Looking ahead, our team will continue to engage with key stakeholders, publish policy briefs, and host dialogues to share insights and gather feedback. These activities aim to strengthen the evidence base for effective climate finance delivery mechanisms and influence policymaking at national and global levels.
We also plan to expand our research to include emerging JETPs in other countries, thereby enhancing comparative analysis. Our goal is to contribute to the creation of more adaptable, inclusive, and just climate finance frameworks that support long-term sustainable development.
