Asia’s voice and priorities, like those of the broader Global South, are hard to see in current transition planning.
The Global South cannot afford massive investments in new energy, especially when many countries are only at the start of their development journey.
Trying to force an unworkable, unaffordable transition plan on them will only threaten their economic progress.
Planners must also abandon the belief that a single plan can meet the needs of more than 200 countries.
Each country should choose an energy mix that helps them meet their climate ambitions at a speed and manner that is right for them.
It is what I call a multi-source, multi-speed, and multi-dimensional approach that addresses the actual security, affordability, and sustainability priorities of all countries, not just a few.
A Transition Plan 2.0, with Asia at its heart.
