Critical minerals will play a vital role in the energy transition. In South East Asia like in other regions across the world, there will be an additional advantage in that critical mineral development can contribute to an economic recovery and in time a green economic recovery. This article explores the role of justice in critical mineral development in the South East Asian region with a specific focus on Indonesia. The recent literature on critical minerals has a very limited focus on the role of justice in critical mineral development and this is even more so the case for South East Asian countries. This article provides a first account, utilising the JUST framework to explore, assess and quantitatively examine justice in the critical minerals industry in South East Asia and in particular, Indonesia. If the South East Asian region is to have a green economic recovery, there has to be a focus on achieving justice and reducing unjust outcomes. Indonesia provides strong examples for the potential of the industry and the development of policy to ensure justice, yet, it presents lessons for other South East Asian countries of the pitfalls in such ambition.

关键矿物将在能源转型中发挥至关重要的作用。像世界其他地区一样，在东南亚，矿产的关键优势在于可以促进经济复苏并及时实现绿色经济复苏。本文探讨了司法在东南亚地区重要矿产开发中的作用，特别是印度尼西亚。近期有关关键矿物的文献对正义在关键矿物发展中的作用的关注非常有限，东南亚国家尤其如此。本文提供了一个第一手资料，利用JUST框架来探索，评估和定量检查东南亚特别是印度尼西亚的关键矿产行业中的正义。如果东南亚地区要实现绿色经济复苏，就必须将重点放在实现正义和减少不公正的结果上。印度尼西亚为该行业的潜力和制定确保正义的政策提供了有力的例子，然而，它为东南亚其他国家提供了在这种雄心壮志中的陷阱的教训。
