[Report] Energy Transition in Yemen: A Path to Justice and Sustainable Development
CECE’s postdoctoral fellow Abeer Al‑Eryani, in collaboration with the Arab Reform Initiative and the Sana’a Center for Strategic Studies, has published a new policy document titled “Energy Transition in Yemen: A Path to Justice and Sustainable Development.” The brief examines how conflict, institutional fragmentation, and socio-economic precarity are reshaping Yemen’s energy landscape, and proposes a framework for designing energy transitions that are both just and conflict-sensitive. Drawing on field research and cross-sectoral analysis, the document offers actionable recommendations to ensure that energy interventions contribute not only to decarbonizations but also to peacebuilding, resilience, and inclusive recovery. It argues that Yemen’s energy transition must be grounded in a just and context-specific framework, one that prioritizes resilience, livelihoods, and social cohesion over purely technical or carbon-centric metrics. As the policy document highlights, an integrated, inclusive, and conflict-sensitive energy strategy is not only feasible but essential to a sustainable and equitable recovery.
