Development economics for an age of upheaval
As the boundaries that once separated sectors become blurred, prosperity increasingly depends on how economies build the ecosystems that sustain technological progress and nurture new productive capacity.
Energy shocks expose Asia Pacific's gas gamble, as plunging battery costs and flexible demand tools emerge as cheaper, more secure alternatives to ‘transition fuel’ liquified natural gas.
A system built on renewables introduces new risks, as critical bottlenecks shift to refining, processing, and mineral-supply chains.

How to measure climate progress
Ending reliance on oil, coal, and gas, and embracing technologies that will only improve and become cheaper over time, is not just smart climate policy. It is the best way to improve economic competitiveness and human prosperity for decades to come.
