ANALYSIS OF THE NEED TO DEVELOP THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE ENERGY EDUCATION (SEE) TO SUPPORT THE SOCIALIZATION OF THE CLEAN AND AFFORDABLE ENERGY TRANSITION IN INDONESIA

Abstract

Global boiling, a term illustrating the severe effects of global warming and climate change, highlights the urgent need for Sustainable Energy Education (SEE) to transition from conventional to clean energy sources. Despite its critical importance, research on SEE is limited, and no comprehensive concept exists in Indonesia. This study aims to address this gap by developing a phased and systematic SEE framework designed to promote the gradual adoption of clean energy solutions. Using qualitative descriptive methods, including observation and interviews, the research identifies educational needs and stakeholder support for SEE. Findings indicate a strong consensus on the concept’s relevance and potential to enhance public understanding of renewable energy. The proposed framework represents a novel approach to energy education, crucial for Indonesia’s clean energy transition. To ensure successful implementation, it is recommended that schools incorporate SEE into their curricula, while the government and renewable energy sectors support this initiative through regulatory facilitation and financial backing. Such coordinated efforts are essential for achieving a sustainable and impactful transition to clean energy
