Decarbonising the Indo-Pacific’s energy systems is essential for setting the region on a more secure, sustainable, and advantageous development path. However, this transformation is anticipated to be challenging. The available resources, tools, and geospatial conditions for such an undertaking can vary dramatically by sector and country, making regional cooperation crucial for translating ambitions into viable actions.
This report examines the prospects for decarbonising the Indo-Pacific’s energy systems. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the current state of the region’s energy systems. Chapter 3 explores potential pathways to carbon neutrality. Chapter 4 identifies the tools that can help decision-makers implement a preferred pathway. Chapter 5 discusses the critical role of international cooperation in these efforts. Finally, the report concludes with recommendations for the way forward.
