Southeast Asian countries face a tough challenge in transitioning their energy systems, mainly because they rely heavily on coal, need more power and transport, and have different levels of industrialisation, resources, and energy infrastructure. This makes it hard to reduce emission intensity, especially as economic growth demands more energy. To strike a balance between growth and sustainability, developing nations must work together through regional collaboration, international cooperation, and sharing best practices and innovative solutions like electric transport, renewable energy, and energy efficiency improvements. They must also consider how to ensure fairness for workers, businesses, and consumers by providing access to capacity, finance, products, services, and affordable energy.
