Southeast Asia’s economic boom has been a double-edged sword. While it has lifted millions out of poverty and improved living standards, it has also relied heavily on fossil fuels. This dependence has resulted in a surge in greenhouse gas emissions, environmental pollution, and local health issues, further contributing to global climate challenges.
Looking ahead, the region faces a critical crossroads.
With energy demand projected to double by 2035, Southeast Asia must significantly ramp up investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. This urgent transition is essential to secure a clean, healthy future for the region and the planet.
Our focus is on empowering partner countries, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines to achieve a sustainable energy future that fuels economic growth and ensures energy security, in alignment with the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals.
We work collaboratively to mobilize and coordinate resources, fostering a robust foundation for renewable energy, energy efficiency, coal phasedown and resilient infrastructure in Southeast Asia
01.
Supporting the development and implementation of policies that promote
low-carbon energy infrastructure
02.
Creating a favorable investment climate to attract public and private funding for sustainable energy projects
03.
Modernizing and expanding grid infrastructure to ensure a reliable and resilient power system by facilitating integration of variable renewable energy (VRE) sources
04.
Fostering an equitable and inclusive energy transition, ensuring that social, economic and environmental considerations underpin the shift to a green economy
Underpinning Objective: Knowledge and Awareness Building
Linked to the above SOs, we empower stakeholders with capacity building across priority sectors, and share lessons learned across the region.
Introducing the Just Coal Transition Platform, a regional initiative to empower Southeast Asia’s coal regions to navigate a clean energy future through knowledge sharing, skills building, and access to resources
