From Commitment to Convergence: Aligning Funders on People-Centric Energy in Asia Pacific

About this event

The energy transition in Asia Pacific is accelerating, but funding often fails to reach the communities, workers, and small enterprises most affected. Building on ASCENT’s shared framework and principles, this session brings funders, community voices, and project owners together to explore practical financing solutions. The panel will examine barriers on the ground and how philanthropy, commercial capital, and underexplored sources such as faith-based giving can provide complementary support. Interactive project showcases will highlight real funding needs and implementation challenges, helping participants identify opportunities for coordinated funding and collaboration to advance a people-centric energy transition across the region Key takeaways - Understand the priorities and funding barriers communities and project owners face. - Explore how philanthropy, commercial capital, and under-explored sources can provide complementary support. - Identify practical opportunities for coordinated funding and collaboration through project showcases and AVPN’s initiative to support people-centric energy transition.
