Opinion / #SEA clean energy transition
Progress towards Indonesia's renewables target has been slow. Rethinking energy subsidies and carbon pricing can hasten the shift of Southeast Asia's largest economy away from coal.

Southeast Asia’s frustration with the state of climate finance
The financing gap is huge, but time is short. Given the inadequacy of a promised new climate finance goal, Southeast Asia should look beyond UN-led conferences to crowd in other sources of capital to tackle the climate crisis.
Asean needs to develop a collective response to the geopolitics of renewable energy in order to address resource nationalism and the adverse impacts of growing US-China rivalry on Southeast Asia's energy transition.
