The uncertain economic outlook, high energy prices, growing energy demand and rising emissions continue to pose challenges to global efforts towards a net zero future. A paradigm shift is needed to sustain the energy transition and galvanise international efforts to respond to the challenges of our time. Our energy systems must continue to evolve and remain adaptable. Technological innovation and investments will be crucial to support the development of regional interconnectivity and the electrification of end-users, while infrastructure and the resiliency of supply chains must be strengthened to unlock the full potential of low-carbon alternatives such as hydrogen to manage energy demand in the longer-term.
In the lead up to COP 28, the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) 2023 provides a platform for international energy leaders to discuss pertinent issues in the Energy Transition Towards A Net Zero World. How can Asia strengthen pathways towards a net zero energy future while ensuring security and resiliency? Where are the financing and investment gaps that must be addressed to scale the bankability of renewable and low-carbon technologies such as hydrogen? What policies can governments and industries put in place to better deploy technologies to decarbonise and accelerate electrification? How can governments, multilateral institutions and industry leaders work together to support the energy transition for a net zero future?

The Leaders’ Dialogue on “Road to Net Zero” features influential leaders proactively addressing critical challenges impeding Asia’s journey to a sustainable and net zero future. At the heart of this transformation lies a pivotal factor – innovative financing strategies and just transition. The convergence of governments, international organisation, financial institutions, and industries aims to create a new financial paradigm aligned with net zero goals. Through a narrative of collaboration, visionary ideas and engagement in dynamic conversation within the realm of financing, this discussion is committed to accelerate our trajectory towards a resilient and net zero future. It will also explore solutions that address the critical challenges impeding the just energy transition journey.
- What role can Governments, International Organisations and financial institutions play in creating a conducive environment to support investments for a net zero and just energy transition?
- What are the technology pathways and barriers in enhancing the global share of renewable energy by 2030?
- What creative approaches and solutions can be explored in the future of financing?
- What are the key challenges in facilitating bankable and cross-border financing for renewable energy initiatives and projects across Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region?
