The Just Transition Forum Asia 2025 (JTFA2025), co-organized by FES Asia and Climate Action Network Southeast Asia (CANSEA), is the region’s flagship online event dedicated to advancing climate justice and inclusive transitions across Asia. Taking place from 3-4 September 2025, 2:00-6:00 PM (GMT + 7) on Zoom, JTFA2025 will bring together leading voices from government, civil society, business, labor, academia, and grassroots movements to foster dialogue, share best practices, and build coalitions for a fair, people-centered shift to low-carbon economies.

This year’s forum focuses on connecting global climate frameworks—especially the latest Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0)—with regional, national, and local actions, ensuring social equity and environmental sustainability are embedded in climate strategies. Through interactive labs, panel discussions, and peer learning, JTFA2025 will empower stakeholders to address the challenges of climate change, navigate geopolitical shifts, and shape ambitious, just, and resilient pathways for Asia’s future.
