Countries in the Southeast Asia region are not inevitable from this crisis. As of now, all 10 ASEAN Member States have been experiencing the growing confirmed case. It does not only present challenges towards public health but also disrupts other sectors, including energy and climate change.

Based on our recent survey, COVID-19 is affecting fossil fuels the most, but renewable energy is also considered to be hit. A positive temporary effect on the climate must be used to mainstream the information about climate change mitigation into the society, must involve in a more sustainable economy, and environmental-friendly activities into daily lives.

Here, we provide various updated information and analysis on the energy and climate change in ASEAN in related to COVID-19.[/vc_column_text][vc_wp_tagcloud taxonomy=”post_tag” el_id=”Southeast Asia, Covid-19″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_zigzag][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Related Analysis” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left”][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”10339″ img_size=”600×430″ css=”.vc_custom_1617269889940{margin-bottom: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-bottom: 2px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1617268828352{margin-bottom: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-bottom: 2px !important;}”]
