Latest Asean energy outlook ditches carbon neutrality pathway, projects higher emissions by 2050
Asean’s official energy outlook, endorsed by its energy ministers on 8 October, reveals a gap between the region’s energy plans and its members’ net-zero pledges, and allows new coal plants to be built even in its lowest-emissions scenario.
Countries’ climate plans deliver at most a third of the emissions cuts needed by 2035, and every five years of emissions at current levels raises peak warming by around 0.1°C, the UN Environment Programme’s Emissions Gap Report finds.
Extreme El Niño events, such as those that brought the droughts behind Southeast Asia’s haze crises in 1997 and 2015, could become more frequent the later the world reaches net zero, and stay that way for centuries, according to modelling led by the University of Melbourne.
