The central focus of this report “Toward A Low-Carbon And Just Energy Transition In Developing Asia” by The Asian Development Bank is on the just energy transition away from coal and toward a low-carbon future in Asia and the Pacific. It encompasses a range of topics, from coal-fired power plant retirement and carbon pricing to renewable investment, infrastructure development, and the mobilization of development financing to transform energy systems.
These analyses explore the social, economic, and environmental benefits associated with the green energy transition, discuss the key policy challenges that must be addressed to ensure a just, equitable, and effective sustainability transformation, and outline actionable recommendations for policy makers. The report is organised in three parts: Accelerating Coal-Based Power Plant Retirement; Promoting a Just Energy Transition; and Building an Enabling Environment.
