Description :

Climate action has been steadily rising and 2023 represents a pivotal year. Governments, corporate leaders, and investors are riding global tailwinds of greater green investment and global actors from the US to Europe and China, among others are doubling down on climate action with ambitious industrial policies to set an accelerated course to net zero.

Yet Southeast Asia (SEA)’s game plan is still being written and the region needs to define its own pathway forward – one that balances climate action, incentives for the green industries of tomorrow, and ensuring a just transition that meets the needs of citizens and nature. Plotting that course amid competing solutions and the immense, uncertain price tag on achieving net zero demands trade-offs and choices be made on what paths to follow, what solutions to enable, and what bets to make. Equally important is how to seize the regional opportunity for SEA to work together, collaborate and be more than the sum of its parts driving greater innovation and collective action.

This year’s Southeast Asia Green Economy report by Bain & Company, Temasek, GenZero and AWS provides an independent stock take on where the region is headed, where progress is being made, where more action individually and collectively is needed now and what specific actions can be taken to enable the region to make an impact today – not tomorrow – with a focus on the energy and nature sectors.
