Abstract
The global energy transition towards sustainable, low-carbon sources is crucial in mitigating climate change and achieving long-term energy security. However, for developing economies, this transition presents unique challenges, given the need to balance economic growth, social justice, and environmental sustainability. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of global legal frameworks guiding the equitable energy transition, focusing on how these frameworks can be adapted to the specific contexts of developing economies. We examine international agreements, national policies, and regulatory mechanisms that address energy access, carbon reduction, and economic equity. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of integrating social justice principles to ensure that vulnerable communities within developing nations benefit from the transition without bearing disproportionate costs. Key issues discussed include policy alignment, financial support mechanisms, technology transfer, capacity building, and stakeholder inclusivity. By evaluating case studies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, this paper offers insights into best practices and emerging trends for a fair energy transition. Recommendations are provided to policymakers to develop adaptable frameworks that balance growth aspirations with justice imperatives, ensuring a sustainable and inclusive energy future for all. Keywords: Energy Transition, Legal Frameworks, Developing Economies, Sustainable Energy, Social Justice.
