Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
7. 廉价和清洁能源
能源处于当今世界面临的几乎每一个主要挑战和机遇的核心。对于就业、安全、气候变化、粮食生产或增加收入，能源的使用是必不可少的。由于近期在电气化方面的进展（尤其在最不发达国家）以及工业能源效率方面的提高，我们朝着为所有人提供实惠、可靠和现代化的能源的目标又向前迈进了一步。然而，我们依旧要强化国家优先事项和政策目标，以帮助全球实现2030能源目标。

Mismatched financing tenures, risk premiums and the demand profiles of data centre operators are among the many concerns of the country’s solar power providers.
While refrigerants in air conditioners and heat pumps are keeping people healthy amid global warming, some experts fear a secret climate impact.
The Philippines saw a 170 per cent surge in weekly installations while Thailand’s demand for solar training increased three times following the energy crisis that started in late February. But workforce systems and stronger local networks are needed to allow the industry to scale sustainably, says clean energy proponents.
China’s solar exports hit a record high in March as rising fossil fuel prices and looming tax changes accelerated demand across Asia and Africa.

For African trustees, directors, asset managers, and other fiduciaries, the question is not whether capital should reposition, but whether institutions will act before events compel them to do so.
The Covid-19 pandemic and the wars in Ukraine and Iran have reframed the issue of sustainability, which is now as much about sovereignty and economic security as it is about planetary health. Countries and companies that fail to recognise this have everything to lose in the coming years.
While tensions around the Strait of Hormuz are rattling global oil markets, energy security is no longer defined solely by access to fossil fuels. What China has understood, and Europe has not, is that security now depends on electricity systems that can deliver low-cost power at scale and support heavy industry.
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.

Critical to the country’s energy security in the 1970s, geothermal is now re-emerging as the Philippines’ biggest clean energy advantage at a time when countries are seeking reliable, round-the-clock renewable power, says Francis Giles B. Puno, president and chief operating officer of First Gen Corporation.
Government must call on development finance institutions to tap on risk management tools to make the capital-intensive technology more investible, Global Wind Energy Council’s Ann Margret Francisco tells the EB Podcast.
In the latest episode of the Climate Tech in Asia series, we speak to Breakthrough Energy and Green COP about what the shifting geopolitical landscape means for the climate tech ecosystem in Asia.
As the Philippines gears up to chair Asean next year, Michael Sinocruz says the government will push offshore wind to bolster cross-border renewable energy trade, while protecting marine life impacted by infrastructure.
