Foreword

As the world faces multiple overlapping crises, countries of the Asia-Pacific region continue their efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In this final decade of action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), these efforts have a particular urgency. While all the SDGs are important, making progress towards SDG 7 on affordable and clean energy is critical, as energy is at the centre of the sustainable development process, presenting linkages across many other SDGs. As energy sector emissions are the key drivers of climate change, the success of the Paris Agreement hinges on the speed of energy decarbonization in this region.
