Advancing Women’s Involvement in ASEAN Energy Transition

The ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation, the framework of energy cooperation in the region, stipulates the aspirational targets of achieving 23 percent renewable energy share in the total primary energy supply and 32 percent energy intensity reduction by 2025.

Highlighting the Four Pillars of ASEAN Energy Cooperation in Achieving Sustainable Development

The world’s population continues to increase rapidly and is predicted to skyrocket in the future, with Southeast Asia as one of the centres of its growth. According to the 6th ASEAN Energy Outlook (AEO6), ASEAN is predicted to have 768 million inhabitants in 2040. With such a large population, innovations – coupled with collaborations – are needed so that the needs for food, water, and energy can be met sustainably. In determining sustainable energy planning, four important aspects must be considered, namely energy security, accessibility, affordability, and sustainability.
