A new analysis by climate coalitions finds that 83 per cent of Indonesian executives want the government to step up investment in grid capacity and connectivity, while 89 per cent of Filipino executives say policy is lagging behind business electrification, despite Indonesia’s renewables push and the Philippines’ rapidly expanding clean energy pipeline.
Trust and influence may have already shifted to social media, where fossil fuel interests are backing creators. Climate organisations must catch up.
India’s new foreign investment policy, China’s slowing battery demand, and the African market create a new opportunity in India.

Taiwan’s energy challenges highlight the limits of fossil fuel–based energy security as geopolitical tensions reshape global energy markets and supply chains.
As the closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues to disrupt global oil and gas flows, countries are increasingly focusing on short-term energy priorities to the detriment of long-term decarbonisation goals. In such a context, the difficult task of designing climate policies that realign incentives takes on new importance.
If the war in Iran does not end soon, the Malaysian government must have more arrows in its energy policy quiver.
The Iran war has reminded everyone, but especially Africans, of the structural instability of fossil-fuel prices.

If a real estate development can reduce energy and water consumption – and emit fewer carbon emissions – it is built to last, Oliver Chan tells the Eco-Business podcast. The key, however, is to first educate future homeowners and businesses that going green does not mean breaking the bank.
The oil and gas sector needs to cut operational emissions faster, Charlotte Wolff-Bye tells the Eco-Business podcast. But slashing fuel output won’t do for the Asian supplier, and it welcomes respectful debate at the climate summit.
