Southeast Asia is experiencing rapid economic growth alongside rising energy demand, while also facing mounting climate challenges. Coal remains a dominant part of the region’s power mix, making the shift from coal to clean energy central to long-term climate and development goals. Countries such as Indonesia and Thailand have set net-zero targets for 2060 and 2065, respectively, and achieving these will require a managed and accelerated transition away from coal.
To advance this dialogue, Agora Energiewende and Agora Industry – in collaboration with the Thai-German Cooperation on Energy, Mobility and Climate (TGC-EMC), ClimateWorks Foundation, the International Network of Energy Transition Think Tanks (INETTT), GIZ-Innovation Regions for a Just Energy Transition (IKI-JET) project, Climate Finance Network Thailand, NEXT Group and The Carbon Trust – are convening this interactive session as part of Bangkok Climate Action Week.
A successful coal-to-clean transition involves large-scale structural changes in power systems and industry. This will depend on effective policies, innovative financing and strategies that ensure a just and inclusive transition for businesses, workers and communities. Progress also requires cooperation across government, business, finance and civil society, as well as for drawing lessons from what has already worked in practice.
In this session, participants will explore policy and financing options to support coal-to-clean pathways, while exchanging experiences from across Southeast Asia. Together, we will collect insights for a growing set of “policy recipes” to help accelerate the region’s transition toward a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
We particularly welcome representatives from international organisations, the policy space, civil society, financial institutions and the private sector to take part, especially those engaged in advancing the coal-to-clean transition in Southeast Asia’s power and industrial sectors.
