Asia's Energy Transition in a Changing World

16 April, 3:00PM - 4:00PM WIB

What does the US withdrawal from global climate leadership mean for Asia?

The Asia-Pacific region stands at a critical juncture in its energy transition. While the region has made progress in renewable energy and innovation, recent developments have created uncertainty around its path toward a sustainable energy future. The US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and JETP funding adds to this complexity, raising questions about global climate leadership, equity, and the flow of green finance and technology.

However, the US withdrawal could also galvanise Asian countries to take a more proactive role in the global energy transition. It could lead to increased regional cooperation and innovation as these countries aim to fill the leadership gap, accelerate their clean energy transitions, and capitalise on the economic opportunities of widespread electrification.

This exclusive webinar will take place ahead of the inaugural Energy Transition Summit: Asia, taking place on the 25th & 26th of June in Jakarta, Indonesia. Hosted in the lead-up to the summit, the discussion aims to provide energy leaders, financiers and policymakers with insights on developments in the region, as well as takeaways to inform on how geopolitics may influence the pace of Asia’s energy transition. It will act as an initial context-setting discussion to those happening in Jakarta during the main summit in June.
