Core Subject : Social,
The scope of JCRECO encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, reflecting the complexity and interconnectedness of ecological issues in the contemporary world. From examining the impacts of human activities on ecosystems to exploring novel approaches for ecosystem restoration and resilience building, the journal provides a platform for synthesizing diverse perspectives and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations. Additionally, JCRECO is dedicated to amplifying voices from underrepresented communities and marginalized groups, recognizing the importance of inclusivity and diversity in addressing ecological challenges. Aims: 1. Facilitate critical discourse and innovative thinking on ecological issues. 2. Promote interdisciplinary approaches to understanding human-environment interactions. 3. Foster collaboration among scholars, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the field of ecology. 4. Amplify voices from underrepresented communities and marginalized groups in ecological discourse. 5. Advance theoretical insights, empirical research, and practical solutions for sustainability and environmental justice. 6. Encourage the integration of ecological knowledge with economics, politics, culture, and ethics. 7. Provide a platform for synthesizing diverse perspectives and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations. 8. Catalyze positive change towards a more sustainable and just future for both people and the planet. Scope: 1. Biodiversity conservation and ecosystem dynamics. 2. Sustainable development and environmental justice. 3. Climate change mitigation and adaptation. 4. Socio-ecological systems and resilience building. 5. Intersections of ecology with economics, politics, culture, and ethics. 6. Empirical research, theoretical frameworks, and practical solutions for addressing ecological challenges. 7. Inclusivity and diversity in ecological discourse and practice.

Abstract

Background: Achieving a successful energy transition requires substantial human resource preparation, as investments in renewable technologies ultimately manifest as labour demand. The Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) estimates that Indonesia will require approximately 800,000 workers in the electricity sector by 2030, rising to 3.2 million by 2050, far exceeding the current workforce of around 270,000. Despite this projected growth, Indonesia remains inadequately prepared for the scale, pace, and skill transformation required, particularly regarding coal-fired power plant (CFPP) workers facing early retirement policies. Methods: This study employs a qualitative research design using document-based content analysis, following the READ framework (Ready, Extract, Analyse, Distil). Primary data were drawn from national policy documents, including the Enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution, the Energy Transition Roadmap, and the Green Workforce Development Roadmap, while secondary data comprised reports from the ILO, IESR, World Bank, and Scopus-indexed journals. Analysis focused on CFPP Cirebon 1 as a case study, examining employee competencies, green job potential, and early retirement policy under Presidential Regulation No. 112/2022. Findings: CFPP workers possess highly specific technical skills with limited transferability to renewable energy sectors. Foreign language proficiency emerges as a critical constraint, particularly for accessing technologies from Russia, China, and France. Three structural barriers were identified: skills bottlenecks, linguistic bottlenecks, and institutional bottlenecks, alongside the absence of integrated compensation and reskilling mechanisms for affected workers. Conclusion: Indonesia's NZE 2060 roadmap must treat human capital as both a potential stranded asset and a key enabler of technological progress, requiring coordinated reskilling, social protection, and language development programmes. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study introduces the concepts of "stranded human assets" and "linguistic justice" as new analytical dimensions within Indonesia's just transition discourse.
