Since the United States hosted the Leaders' Summit on Climate in 2021, numerous countries have committed to net-zero emission targets. Given the size of their economies, populations, and greenhouse gas emissions, emerging markets and developing economies in South, East, and Southeast Asia will play a key role in determining whether or not these targets are achieved. The Net-Zero Transitions in Energy and Finance focuses on the net-zero transition in Southeast Asia and applies the lessons learned to other major emerging markets and developing economies. It argues that net-zero emission targets require not only synchronised changes of the complementary elements in energy systems but also in the financial institutions that fund and invest in facilitating system transitions. Proposing novel frameworks for analysing electricity system transitions with empirical evidence, this book identifies enabling factors, drivers, and barriers, and offers solutions for overcoming the challenges of multi-sector transitions.

'Despite global political uncertainty surrounding the net-zero emission target by mid-century, the energy transition remains strong, with Southeast Asia playing a key role. This book provides in-depth analysis of energy transition in the region, focusing on electricity and finance. It examines why the Paris-Glasgow financial regime has progressed slowly and explores why coal-based power generation has largely shifted to natural gas rather than renewables. By detailing the situation in several Southeast Asian countries, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the region's ongoing energy transition.' Budy Resosudarmo
