Glimmer of Hope in Addressing Climate Change with the Net-Zero Scenario

Key Points

• If the world is to meet the limit global warming to below 2°C, and ideally 5 degrees C, it must reach net-zero carbon emissions, on average, by 2050.
• Southeast Asian policymakers are racing to accelerate the adoption of EVs as a step towards creating an EV manufacturing hub.
• The uptake of alternative energy sources is key to reducing each AMS’ reliance on fossil fuels and meeting its Paris Climate Accord obligations.
• In order to attain a climate-friendly economy or “green economy” for every AMS it is necessary to foster fruitful dialogues between AMS and external parties.
