Abstract: Ensuring an inclusive and just transition towards a low-carbon economy has become increasingly important. This paper emphasises the challenges in increasing the extent of women's participation in the energy transition in ASEAN and G7 countries. In this paper, two research questions are addressed: First, what are the challenges and barriers women face in ASEAN and G7 countries in participating in the energy transition? Second, what are the policies that can be implemented in ASEAN and G7 countries to ensure that the energy transition is both just and inclusive? Using VOSviewer, we found a gap in the literature, particularly in terms of women's perspectives in the context of the energy transition in ASEAN and G7 countries. To bridge this gap, we collected data by conducting interviews with women working in the energy sector in ASEAN and G7 countries. Moreover, we employed scientific literature to strengthen the analysis. These data were qualitatively analysed by applying Jenkins' three tenets of justice in the energy transition. The challenges we identified refer to raising awareness, access to opportunities, cultural background, women's psychological beliefs and physical considerations. Our discussion extends to policy implications, including drivers to policy change, enabling policies and the role of the private sector, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), academia and communities in increasing women's participation in the energy transition.
