This issue of SIPET Connect explores how Southeast Asia is responding to complex geopolitical and climate realities through practical, cooperative action. We take our readers inside the 2025 Regional Energy Transition Dialogue (RETD), where policymakers and experts came together in Bangkok to chart a shared path forward—and where collaboration itself became the takeaway. In our new Transition Toolbox Series, Sascha Oppowa of GIZ Thailand reflects on RETD as a scalable model for enabling structured regional dialogue and replicable solutions.
We also spotlight Enlit Asia—the region’s flagship energy platform happening this September in Bangkok—where SIPET will be presenting its latest work on regional policy tools and collaboration.
