All the founding members undersigned have endorsed it through email correspondence.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There is a need for the global energy sector to move from a fossil dominated industry to a low or zero-carbon industry. The current global energy sector heavily relies on fossil fuels and accounts for at least two-thirds of the total anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.\u00a0 However, to achieve the Paris target, emissions need to fall to net zero by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>The world has unprecedented opportunities in the transition towards a sustainable low carbon future through the rapid development of new energy technologies, digital transformation in the energy sector, and emerging energy markets.<\/p>\n<p>Energy transition is often perceived as the development of renewable and clean energy and energy efficiency. However, the transition of industries of fossil fuels and related sectors such as power generation, transportation, space heating and cooling, is equally important.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing together various stakeholders with the objective of bridging the gaps between knowledge and practice can accelerate the energy transition through better-informed policy interventions and decisive, and sometimes painful actions.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, we propose the establishment of the International Society for Energy Transition Studies (ISETS) based in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>ISETS is an independent, non-profit, membership-based global organization for the academic, business, government, and other professionals concerned with energy transition.\u00a0Membership of ISETS is open to both individuals and organizations who have an interest in the field of the energy transition, subject to an application and evaluation process.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span data-text-color=\"primary\">Vision\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Our vision is to facilitate an equitable and inclusive transition of energy and relevant sectors toward a sustainable low-carbon future with consideration of economic development, social equity, and environmental stewardship through international partnerships.<\/p>\n<h3><span data-text-color=\"primary\">Mission\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><em>The<\/em> <em>International Society for Energy Transition Studies aims:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To\u00a0contribute to debates on energy transition with a balanced consideration of both fossil fuel sectors and their alternatives<\/li>\n<li>To advance knowledge in the future development of energy systems and their transition processes<\/li>\n<li>To create a platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue and debates through connecting different countries and regions<\/li>\n<li>To enable businesses, and public and private orgnizations, to align their development trajectory towards clean energy pathways, and<\/li>\n<li>To engage with national and international organizations, technology providers, and financial institutions to work in synergy towards energy transition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span data-text-color=\"primary\">Action plan<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In order to bring these aims to life, <em>ISETS will:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Organise\u00a0conferences and workshops\u00a0in cooperation with our partners to establish a forum for dialogue<\/li>\n<li>Seek research grants for conducting original research by pooling members\u2019 expertise<\/li>\n<li>Establish a working paper series and an academic journal to disseminate knowledge<\/li>\n<li>Maintain a\u00a0website and\u00a0social media\u00a0pages to enable sharing knowledge and good practices on energy transition, and<\/li>\n<li>Provide policy suggestions to governments, industries, and other civil actors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span data-text-color=\"primary\"><strong>Founding Members<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong><u>Individuals<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Philip Andrews-Speed, Senior Principal Fellow, Energy Studies Institute, National University of Singapore<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Daniel del Barrio Alvarez, Assistant professor,\u00a0 International Project Laboratory of Civil Engineering, The University of Tokyo<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Weerawat Chantanakome, Councilor and Advisor, Ministry of Energy of Thailand<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Yong Chen, \u00a0Programme Officer, Innovation and Technology Center (IITC), IRENA<\/p>\n<p>Dr. James Cheong, Associate Professor, Hang Seng University of Hong Kong<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Shabbir H.
