ABOUT US

The South Asia Just Transition Alliance (SAJTA) ​ is a flexible civil society platform formed through the South Asia Energy Colloquium (SAEC) organized in April 2023 with the participation of members from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. SAJTA is led by Coastal Livelihood and Environmental Action Network (CLEAN), Bangladesh; Centre for Environmental Justice (CEJ), Sri Lanka; and Growthwatch, India.

​

The vision of SAJTA is to ensure green and sustainable infrastructures for the people and environment of South Asia. Its mission is to act as an alliance to advocate for sustainable infrastructure, protect nature, and build a knowledge-based society. In line with the vision and mission, SAJTA conducts research and study, builds networks, and organizes campaigns on the large infrastructures developed and financed by public and private entities, transnational banks, bilateral institutions, and Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs). Keeping this in mind, SAJTA has taken the initiative to conduct studies on cross-border energy projects, which affect the local communities and have a long-term impact on the environment and economy.
