An international non-profit network bringing together researchers and decision-makers in the Global South to accelerate just energy transitions tailored to local circumstances with tangible benefits for sustainable development and climate mitigation.
We do not lobby for specific energy transition pathways or regulatory change but provide impartial, evidence-based advice to help inform decision-making.
As a network of independent researchers, we:
Foster collaboration and knowledge exchange that accelerate just energy transitions tailored to local circumstances
- Conduct frontier economic and policy research, modeling, and evaluation on energy transition, with a focus on emissions pricing
- Connect local researchers and decision-makers across the Global South to collaborate in sharing knowledge and building technical capacity
- Encourage more participatory, transparent, and empowered approaches to energy planning
- Translate technical analysis and modeling into actionable guidance and tools for decision makers to support credible energy transition plans
We aim to accelerate just energy transitions tailored to local circumstances with tangible benefits for sustainable development and climate mitigation.
Our work matters because:
Decarbonising energy production in the Global South is essential to avoiding dangerous climate change, but countries in the Global South (excluding China) receive only 20% of global clean energy investment
This investment gap represents both a climate risk and a massive untapped opportunity
Current energy planning often fails to incorporate up-to-date and country-specific research that uses open-source models, transparent information, and collaborative processes
Countries across the Global South need trusted local experts who understand their conditions and can help bridge gaps between research, policy design, and investment
If the RESET Network succeeds:
- Countries in the Global South accelerate their actions to reduce climate change and develop more sustainably, deeply transforming their energy planning processes and attracting large-scale climate finance and investment from public and private sources
- Governments implement effective and equitable policies to enable and motivate climate mitigation, including a variety of emissions pricing instruments
- Local researchers become more influential voices in national energy planning and policy
- Global initiatives use our tools to help deliver on a shared vision for a rapid and just energy transition
- Organizations in the Global North have greater confidence in the real change occurring in the Global South, which boosts engagement, funding flows, and technology transfer
The RESET Network is an international, non-profit research and engagement network, coordinated by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). More about us.
The Environmental Defense Fund
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) is a leading global non-profit environmental organization, founded in 1967, that works to create science-based, economic, and legal solutions to urgent environmental problems. With over 3.5 million members, it focuses on climate change, ecosystem restoration, oceans, and human health.
