Foreword

The energy choices we make today will shape the development of the Asia-Pacific region throughout the 21st century. The global community has recognized that energy is not only central to economic and social progress but also has a profound impact on the environment. This is why energy is critical to the successful implementation of the new universal and transformative 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is also why Sustainable Development Goal specifically emphasizes the need to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, aiming to ensure access, double the share of renewable energy and double the rate of implementation of energy efficiency by 2030.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Affordable and Clean Energy

Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
