A new report by the United Nations Development Programme, the University of Denver’s Pardee Institute, and Octopus Energy highlights how setting clear, time-bound renewable energy targets—supported by inclusive policies—can achieve a triple win: cutting emissions, boosting economic growth, and generating tangible social benefits.
This guide presents a practical, flexible framework for aligning national climate commitments with long-term low-emission strategies. It outlines key steps such as governance, stakeholder engagement, vision-setting, and financial planning. Designed for all countries, it includes real-world examples to support coherent, climate-resilient development aligned with both near-term and long-term goals.
This report analyzes Southeast Asia’s rising demand for household refrigerators, highlighting energy use and the potential for savings through efficient models. It explores Minimum Energy Performance Standards, policy differences, and harmonization needs, emphasizing regional coordination to reduce energy consumption and support sustainable growth in ASEAN’s expanding refrigeration market.
These slides were presented during the webinar held on 17 June 2025 to introduce the Power Policy Tracker, developed under the Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia (CASE) project and hosted on the Southeast Asia Information Platform for the Energy Transition (SIPET).
The Tracker provides a structured overview of policy implementation in the power sector across ASEAN countries, supporting transparency and informed decision-making for energy transition stakeholders.
The presentation includes: • An overview of the Tracker’s purpose and structure • Key findings from the initial analysis • Country perspectives from Indonesia, the Philippines and Viet Nam • Reflections on how the tool can support policy alignment and implementation

This report delves into the importance of monitoring frameworks for achieving climate and energy targets, emphasising how these frameworks ensure progress towards carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions. It highlights the role of monitoring, reporting, and evaluation in driving effective climate policies and outlines key insights from case studies of the UK, EU, Germany, US, Japan, and South Korea. The report offers valuable guidance for Southeast Asian countries in developing tailored monitoring systems to support their energy transitions and meet global climate goals.
Foundations have a powerful role in tackling climate change—not just through grants but also via how they invest their endowments. This report from NewClimate Institute presents a practical framework for sustainable investing, guiding foundations to align their portfolios with climate goals. It stresses that true impact comes from supporting real-economy decarbonisation, not just reducing portfolio emissions.
Viet Nam’s electricity sector set to expand to 500,000 full-time jobs by 2035, up from around 300,000 today. This surge reflects the transformative scale of the country’s energy transition according to Decision 500/QD-TTg 2023 on National Power Development Plan Nr 8 dated 15 May 2023. Where will these new jobs come from? What does this mean for existing workers? NewClimate Institute's and GIZ ESP’s new report “Projection of Labour Force for Viet Nam’s Energy Transition” explores potential development of the labour force in the power sector in Viet Nam and related industries under different scenarios stated in PDP8 and JETP: (1) Solar and wind will lead job growth; (2) Workforce transition from coal to more sustainable sectors; (3) Imports now, localisation later.
Ember’s Global Electricity Review 2024 offers the first detailed look at electricity generation trends worldwide using data from 215 countries. Covering 93% of global demand, it analyzes shifts in power sources and emissions, and provides a free, comprehensive dataset to support clean energy transition efforts.
