Energy transition requires a multi-level approach. Technical assistance alone will not create an enabling environment for stakeholders to invest in energy transition efforts. In addition to political support, a socially constructed narrative plays a role in creating a transformation pathway to gain support from society. Understanding the socio-cultural landscape could help in constructing an effective energy transition narrative that resonates with the existing meta-narrative within the community to drive change.

This CASE Insights builds upon the key take-aways regarding how decarbonisation efforts have been sustained despite the pandemic in G20 countries, focusing on selected cases in Indonesia, South Korea, South Africa, and Germany. These lessons are derived from, but not limited to, the lessons learned from the 3rd Development Working Group Side Event organised by the Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy (CASE) for Southeast Asia titled National Development Policymaking on Decarbonisation to Achieve Clean and Affordable Electricity. 

Accelerating rooftop solar photovoltaics deployment for Indonesia's green recovery. Two years into the pandemic, global economies, including Indonesia, are still battling the coronavirus. In dampening the impact and recovering the economy, governments around the world have announced trillions of dollars into rescue-type and recovery-type measures, of which the latter is sometimes also associated with measures that are aimed not only to kickstart the economy in the short term, but also facilitate transformative change that is sustainable, resilient, and environmentally positive in the long term, or often referred to as "green recovery". This report seeks to provide analyses and recommendations on green recovery measures that Indonesia can adopt to recover its economy post-pandemic, particularly through power sector initiatives, i.e. rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV), given its deflationary costs as well as its quick-to-deploy and labor-intensive nature.

The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) has initiated a Corona Response Package under its International Climate Initiative (IKI). The package will support IKI projects worldwide to address these challenges. In return, the projects will re- ceive complementary tasks and additional funds
