Energy Crisis in Pakistan: New Policy Approach Is Crucial
While there are hardly any easy short-term solutions to Pakistan’s energy situation, the country has a way out. The most viable strategy is helping its population navigate turbulent times while charting a more sustainable long-term energy system master plan emphasising energy independence.
Malaysia Nears Its 40% Renewable Energy Target by 2035
Malaysia has solid renewable energy market fundamentals, low investment risks for project investors and an abundance of untapped clean resources. Capitalising on them requires the introduction of favourable policies to attract green capital and ease project developers.
Energy Storage Systems and Grid Investments Crucial For Enabling Renewables Integration in Asia
Clean energy technology innovations are continuously breaking records but to capitalise on them and unlock the gains of the clean energy transition, it is essential to accelerate the investments in grid flexibility and storage.
The Illusion of Progress: Dissecting ASEAN’s 35% Renewable Energy Target by 2025
ASEAN's target is insufficient to meet Southeast Asia's climate goals. To stay within a 1.5°C pathway, the region must adopt more ambitious renewable energy policies, focusing on the rapid scaling of solar and wind, drawing from Vietnam’s example.
2024 Trends in the Asian Solar Market: Growth and Opportunities
With China's global leadership in clean power deployment and technological innovation and Vietnam's solar market experience, Asia has the blueprint to champion the green energy transition. Will the region grab the opportunity?
Clean Energy Investment in 2024 Twice Amount for Fossil Fuels: IEA
The IEA’s World Energy Investment 2024 reveals that while clean energy spending is at record levels, the investments still fall short of what is required for a 1.5°C-aligned world. The agency also highlights stark market contrasts and calls for more ambitious policy measures to bridge the financing gap.
G20 Summit 2024: Agenda and Promising Early Signs

Affordable and Clean Energy: How to Achieve?
In a special report, the International Energy Agency notes that accelerated clean energy deployment will...
Global Energy Transition Index – Quantifying Progress
The Energy Transition Index is a score of how well a country is doing in their energy transition. Ultimately, this tool can be used to identify areas that need funding, support, or incentives to speed up change.
South Korea’s Energy Mix and Its 10th Basic Energy Plan
South Korea's decarbonisation progress so far makes hitting its 2030 and 2050 targets unrealistic. In its current form, the 10th Basic Energy Plan that will come into force this year is unlikely to change that. The country needs more ambitious renewable energy targets, a sentiment also echoed by South Korea's biggest businesses.
The Climate Leadership of the G7 Now Hangs on Japan
Without ensuring that all members share the same views regarding the energy transition, the G7 will have difficulty leading global climate policy. Convincing Japan of the urgency of phasing fossil fuels out and accelerating clean energy adoption is integral before the G20 and COP29 meetings later this year.
G7 Ministerial Meetings 2024 – Outcomes
The G7 has sent a clear message that it is moving away from coal. While a good start, the targets are vague and insufficient for a 1.5°C-aligned world. The G20 and COP29 summits and the upcoming NDC updates round provide the perfect opportunities to accelerate progress.
