From Crisis to Catalyst: Green Growth, Mobility and a Just Energy Transition in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is among the most economically dynamic regions in the world, but also among the most exposed to the pressures now reshaping the global energy landscape. Electricity demand is rising rapidly across the subregion, driven by industrialization, urbanization and a growing middle class. Coal and gas continue to supply a substantial share of the regional energy mix all the while countries face constrained fiscal space, supply chain vulnerabilities, rising debt-servicing burdens, and intensifying climate impacts. A decade into its low-carbon commitments, Southeast Asia is encountering the limits of fossil-fuel dependency which requires a candid assessment of whether current energy transition strategies pathways are adequate to deliver the aspirations of countries in this subregion. This event will invite participants to examine the energy transition through the lens of green growth, treating it as an economic and social proposition rather than solely as a response to climate change. It will consider the conditions under which economic growth, expanded energy access, decarbonization, and employment can be pursued together, and the trade-offs, sequencing decisions and distributional questions that can deliver that vision while leaving no one behind. The discussion will give particular attention to regionally relevant trends: transport and mobility, the social and human capital dimensions of the transition, and the financing architecture that will determine which pathways are feasible. Diverse policy and financial tools are being deployed to drive a just transition. Drawing from the diverse experiences of Member States, civil society, private sector, academia, international financial institutions, and the range of stakeholders present at Bangkok Climate Action Week and the IMF and World Bank Group Annual Meeting, this event aims to: • Articulate the benefits of energy transition as a driver of green growth and energy security while also identifying inclusion risks; • Share high-impact, regional examples of energy transition policies that can help overcome renewable energy deployment and sustainability; • Identify practical policy, institutional and sequencing choices for low-carbon mobility that improve access, including electrified mass transit, EVs, and two- and three-wheeler markets; • Examine how worker protection, skills development and the participation of informal workers, rural communities, women and youth can be embedded in energy transition planning; • Share policy and investment strategies for increasing industrial competitiveness through the energy transition; • Identification of financing tools, project preparation and risk-sharing needed to lower capital costs and expand investable pipelines. ETGGP is an ESCAP initiative to support Southeast Asian member States to plan, coordinate, and accelerate energy transitions. Access to affordable, reliable and clean energy is fundamental to sustainable development. How countries manage transitions in their energy systems will shape prospects for economic growth, energy security, and social development for decades to come.

From Markets to Manufacturing: Accelerating Clean Energy Technology Transfer Across Asia
Clean energy deployment is accelerating across South and Southeast Asia, creating new opportunities for economic growth and industrial development. Yet most developing economies remain technology consumers, with limited participation in the manufacturing, innovation, and value chains emerging around the energy transition. This session will explore how countries across Asia and the Global South can move beyond technology adoption to build stronger local capabilities, deepen technology transfer, and create meaningful industrial partnerships. It will bring together manufacturers, investors, policymakers, and ecosystem actors to explore practical pathways for collaboration, from co-development and industrial innovation to localized manufacturing and stronger regional supply chains.

IEEFA Energy Finance Summit 2026: Accelerating the energy transition in Asia
IEEFA is hosting a one-day summit as part of Bangkok Climate Action Week 2026, bringing together leading voices from across energy, finance, policy, and civil society to examine some of the most important questions shaping Asia’s energy transition. Asia is where much of the global energy transition will be decided. Energy demand is rising rapidly, while volatility in global energy markets has pushed energy security to the top of the agenda for many of the region’s price-sensitive economies. The challenge, and opportunity, is to turn these pressures into progress: building greater energy resilience while unlocking new investment and economic opportunities. On 7 October, IEEFA’s analysts and invited experts will come together in Bangkok for a day of discussion and debate focused on three critical areas: Session 1: Energy security in emerging Asian markets: The “electro-state” strategy. As economies electrify, the foundations of energy security are shifting from imported fuels towards electricity systems, batteries and critical minerals. What will it take for emerging Asian economies to build resilience on this new foundation? Session 2: Beyond the PPA: Making grid and storage bankable in emerging Asia. Renewable generation is increasingly bankable across Asia, but investment in the grids and storage needed to support it continues to lag. How can public finance, development banks and private capital help close the gap? Session 3: Climate finance in Asia: From market-led to policy-led narratives. A decade of disclosure standards and voluntary commitments has not shifted capital at the scale decarbonization demands. What needs to change – and will the next phase of climate finance need to be driven more strongly by policy? This is an invitation-only event.

Leadership in Evolving Systems: Leading for Climate Justice
Leadership doesn't come with a map for climate justice work but it surely drives our pathway. Any form of dedicated work on Climate Justice unfolds in systems full of uncertainty at all times. In moving through this space, actors encounter multiple stakeholders, competing perspectives, interdependence and continuous change - all the conditions that make the challenge itself a moving target rather than a fixed problem to be solved at once. This session invites participants to examine how they can lead within this complexity: navigating different perspectives, building relationships, responding to emerging challenges and moving from strategic intent towards collective action. Join Sath-CSIDC for an interactive workshop which combines short knowledge-building inputs with creative and participatory exercises that allow participants to explore these ideas through their own experiences. Rather than treating leadership as a fixed set of skills, the session will be creating a space to reflect, experiment and consider how adaptive and relational leadership can help us respond more proactively to the changing realities of climate justice work. Please register via the QR code! it will take even less than 2 minutes! Who is this for: Organizers, Researchers, JET Professionals, Energy Experts, Funders, Policy Experts, Justice-oriented Social Organizations, Regional and International Development Organizations For any queries: nida@csidc.org

MAIN STAGE | Day 4 | Good Business
Businesses play crucial roles creating jobs, driving innovation and shaping green markets and supply chains. But they also drive pollution and unsustainable production and consumption. Shareholder primacy and short-term profit maximization put business success at loggerheads with the common good. But alternative forms and pathways exist for businesses to thrive while advancing the common good. This session examines the role and opportunity for business in the green transition, and makes the case that responsible business is good business. It highlights businesses key roles in growing a better economy, and considers new forms of corporate organization that empower workers, create opportunities for SMEs and entrepreneurs.

Predict, Protect, Pay: AI and Digital Health for Climate-Resilient Health Systems
Climate change is a health emergency, and Thailand is on the front line. Dengue, extreme heat, and PM2.5 haze fall hardest on the elderly, migrants, informal workers, and last-mile communities. At the same time, Thailand holds unusual strengths: universal health coverage, more than a million village health volunteers, and dense surveillance and sensor infrastructure. This session asks a simple question with large consequences. If AI can forecast a dengue outbreak or a heatwave two weeks out, why does money still move only after people are sick? Over the afternoon we will explore how digital tools and AI can strengthen both sides of the climate and health response: early warning and anticipatory action on the adaptation side, and emissions tracking for health systems on the mitigation side. Discussion will look at what it takes in policy, data governance, and capital to move promising designs from pilot to scale, drawing on Thai experience alongside examples from other countries. The programme will bring together voices from government, WHO, climate and health financiers, and digital health innovators. Expect a framing conversation, a panel, a short showcase of work underway in the region, and time for open exchange and networking. Equity runs through it: we will ask directly whether AI narrows or widens the gap for the communities most exposed. The session is convened by TechChange, organiser of the Global Digital Health Forum, which comes to Bangkok in December 2026 in partnership with Thailand's Ministry of Public Health.

Voices of The Ground: Communities, Climate, and Our Shared Future
Voices of The Ground is an intimate gathering that brings the lived experiences, knowledge, and leadership of frontline communities into Southeast Asia climate conversation. Across Southeast Asia, people are already living with rising seas, extreme weather, disrupted livelihoods, and changing ecosystems. Yet their voices are too often absent from the spaces where climate decisions are made—leaving climate action at risk of becoming overly technical, top-down, and disconnected from everyday realities. Inspired by MADANI Berkelanjutan’s Ramah Tanah gatherings in Indonesia, Voices of The Ground creates space to sit together, listen deeply, and learn from one another. Through intimate talk circles, an immersive exhibition, and meaningful conversations, participants will encounter stories from frontline communities across Southeast Asia and explore what these experiences can teach us about building more just, inclusive, and grounded climate solutions. Hosted during Bangkok Climate Action Week 2026, this gathering welcomes community leaders, civil-society actors, youth, policymakers, funders, researchers, and climate advocates to move beyond consultation—and recognize communities as knowledge holders, rights holders, and leaders of climate action. Come listen, connect, and imagine a different kind of climate action—one shaped by the people living the crisis every day. When the ground speaks, we listen.

"New Economy, New Climate" Distributed Power Generation and Battery Energy Storage: Building Southeast Asia's Flexible Power System
Southeast Asia’s electricity demand is growing rapidly, driven by economic growth, industrial expansion, urbanisation, and new sources of demand such as data centres. At the same time, falling solar costs are making distributed renewable energy increasingly viable, but regulatory, financing, grid integration, and commercial barriers continue to limit deployment. This session brings together policymakers, industry players, investors, technology providers, and regional experts to discuss how distributed solar and battery energy storage can be scaled across Southeast Asia. The discussion will focus on practical lessons from the region, including what regulatory reforms can accelerate deployment, how smaller projects can become bankable, and what business models can make battery storage commercially viable. Session 1: Distributed Power Generation — Unlocking the Fastest Route to Clean Electricity in Southeast Asia. This panel explores the growth of rooftop, commercial and industrial, community-scale, mini-grid, and off-grid solar across the region. Speakers will share experience on regulation, permitting, interconnection, project development, and community participation, with a focus on identifying the reforms and approaches that can unlock faster deployment. Session 2: Storage as the Enabler — Battery Energy Storage, Grid Flexibility and Investable Business Models. This panel examines how battery energy storage can support greater renewable energy integration and provide flexibility to Southeast Asia’s power systems. The discussion will cover viable applications and revenue models, project bankability, financing structures, procurement and offtake, technical standards, and opportunities for regional battery manufacturing and supply chains. Organized by Tenggara Strategics and the Indonesian Solar Energy Association (AESI).

ASEAN Youth Dialogue on Climate and Energy
ASEAN faces interconnected challenges arising from climate change, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and the transition to more sustainable and resilient economies. These challenges have implications for young people, who are among the most affected by the long-term impacts of climate change, and will play a critical role in shaping the region’s future. At the same time, young people across ASEAN are taking action in their communities, developing innovative solutions, advocating for climate policies, and contributing to environmental and social movements. Despite their growing engagement, opportunities for youth to participate meaningfully in regional climate policy dialogue remain limited and need further expansion. Thus, this dialogue will convene ASEAN youth and partners during the Bangkok Climate Action Week for a regional dialogue on climate and energy. This dialogue will provide a platform for participants to exchange experiences, share approaches, and refl ect on emerging opportunities and challenges in advancing youth-led climate action. The dialogue also aims to foster connections among youth, civil society, and institutional actors, creating opportunities for continued cooperation and knowledge exchange. The dialogue will particularly explore pathways for regional youth collaboration in the areas of energy transition, the climate-biodiversity nexus, and climate fi nance. Through peer-to-peer learning and engagement with stakeholders, participants will strengthen their knowledge, leadership, and capacity to contribute meaningfully to climate policy discussions and collective youth-led action across the ASEAN region. Objectives: 1. Strengthen the capacity of youth leaders through exposure to practical climate action initiatives. Participants will enhance their knowledge, skills, and leadership in environmental sustainability and policy dialogue. 2. Facilitate the exchange of experiences and best practices among ASEAN youth and development partners to promote peer-to-peer learning. 3.

MAIN STAGE | Day 5 | Transforming Finance
Finance is the key lever for accelerating the green transition and realizing the vision of a better economy. Our desired futures will remain beyond reach as long as finance works against sustainability, deepens fossil fuel dependency, and fuels inequality and environmental devastation. Shifting investment into green infrastructure and solutions is one part of it. Another is rewiring finance to align with development and climate protection goals. In sum: financing the shift is the outcome; shifting finance is the how. This session considers the respective roles of public, private and philanthropic finance; aligning financial regulation with wellbeing goals; SMEs, and the economic opportunity in harmonizing green finance rules & standards across the region. Each evening on the main stage, we feature the following: 🎭 Art & Culture Performance (15 min) A showcase celebrating Thailand's Climate Story — 7 Regions, 1 Action. Embracing local wisdom and modern creativity. 📋 BKKCAW recap of the day (15 min) Key highlights, moments and takeaways from today's BKKCAW sessions across the city. 💬 Q&A (10 min) Your questions answered by today's speakers and programme team. 🌀 Theme Wrap-Up (10 min) Reflecting on today's panel discussions and a preview of what's coming tomorrow. 🎵 Climate Concert (1 Hour) Music, art and community energy to close the evening, where sound and culture meet climate action.

Powering Southeast Asia's Connected Energy Future: ASEAN partnerships with Australia and the Republic of Korea
Southeast Asia’s energy transition is entering a critical phase, driven by rising electricity demand, energy security concerns and the need for faster decarbonisation. Regional initiatives such as the ASEAN Power Grid, alongside the development of battery and critical mineral value chains, will be central to building a secure, affordable and sustainable energy future. As ASEAN develops more interconnected energy systems, cooperation with international partners will be important in turning regional ambitions into reality. Australia and the Republic of Korea (ROK) have emerged as significant contributors to Southeast Asia’s energy transition through investment, technology partnerships and policy cooperation. With Australia’s COP31 presidency providing an additional platform for regional climate diplomacy, Australia, the ROK and ASEAN have an opportunity to deepen cooperation on interconnected power systems, clean energy supply chains and energy security. By leveraging their complementary strengths, these partnerships can support regional priorities while contributing to a more resilient and sustainable energy future. At Bangkok Climate Action Week, ODI Global and Agora Energiewende will bring together regional experts from government, industry, research organisations and international institutions to explore practical pathways for strengthening cooperation on grid technologies, renewable energy integration, battery supply chains and critical minerals. Drawing on recent research by ODI Global and Agora Energiewende, the workshop will invite participants to test and build on emerging findings and consider a central question: how can cooperation between ASEAN, Australia and the ROK be strengthened to support a more connected, resilient and sustainable regional energy system?

People-Powered Energy Transition: Community Initiatives in Asia’s New Climate Economy
People-Powered Energy Transition: Community Initiatives in Asia’s New Climate Economy is a visual storytelling exhibition that brings together stories from the Philippines and China that demonstrate how people are shaping a new climate economy through courage, resilience, and collective action. While each story unfolds in a different context, they are united by the belief that meaningful transformation begins with people. Bringing together stories from the Philippines and China, the exhibition shows how communities, workers, local leaders, and young people are navigating change and shaping new possibilities in the climate economy. In Barangay Bicos, Nueva Ecija, Philippines, local leadership and community action demonstrate how communities can take steps toward more affordable and accessible renewable energy, while also confronting the financial and institutional challenges that come with making the transition. In Shanxi, communities are navigating the complex transition beyond coal, revealing both the challenges and opportunities of building new livelihoods and a more sustainable future. Through the Future Renewable Energy Engineer (FREE) Program, young Filipinos are preparing to become the next generation of renewable energy leaders, showing that investing in people is essential to sustaining the transition for decades to come. Through photographs, short films, personal stories, and interactive experiences, the exhibition brings these journeys to life. The photo storytelling installations offer glimpses into communities and people experiencing transition firsthand, while short film screenings allow visitors to hear directly from those at the heart of these stories. Together, the stories reveal that the energy transition is a process shaped by people's choices, aspirations, resilience, and ability to adapt. These are ultimately stories of hope and transformation. They show what becomes possible when communities are empowered to act, when people are given opportunities to build new livelihoods and skills, and when investments in today's young people are sustained for the future. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on their own role in shaping a new climate economy and to see that a just and sustainable future is not built by technology alone, but by the people who imagine it, shape it, and make it possible.

Advancing Distributed Energy Resource (DER) Integration in Thailand: Policy Perspectives and International Experience
Thailand’s power system is evolving as rooftop solar and electric vehicles begin to shape electricity flows more visibly across the grid. As these distributed energy resources (DER) and others continue to expand, policymakers, regulators, and utilities are increasingly considering how planning, governance, and institutional coordination can adapt to support their effective integration. To help advance this conversation, the Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia (CASE) project will convene a policy dialogue to present key findings from its forthcoming policy brief, drawing on recent stakeholder consultations and analysis of Thailand’s emerging DER challenges and opportunities to help inform policy action. The event will bring together Thai energy sector institutions and international experts to explore practical approaches for strengthening DER planning, governance, and coordination. Participants will hear perspectives from Germany, Australia, and Pakistan, join a moderated panel discussion on lessons relevant to Thailand, and engage in a facilitated exchange aimed at surfacing upcoming priorities for Thai stakeholders. Designed as a solutions‑focused dialogue, the session aims to support shared understanding and informed discussion on how Thailand can advance effective DER integration in its evolving power system.

Under the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC), the region has committed to sourcing 40% of total primary energy supply and 45% of installed power capacity from renewables by 2030. Yet despite these ambitious targets, the gap between policy ambition and implementation is widening. Initially designed for centralized fossil-fuel-based generation, power grids across the region are struggling to adapt to the scale, variability, and geographic spread of renewable energy sources. The Philippines faces a mismatch between offshore wind potential and available transmission capacity. Malaysia's Single Buyer model and cross-subsidy structure are slowing the pace of its transition. Thailand's electricity sector contends with regulatory bottlenecks and grid inflexibility that limit renewable energy distribution. Vietnam's transmission infrastructure is lagging behind its rapid solar and wind deployment. Indonesia's grid expansion, meanwhile, is held back by a financing shortfall — the result of state utility PLN's overleveraged balance sheet and constitutional rulings that bar private-sector participation. At the same time, the ASEAN Power Grid (APG) — conceived in 1997 as a long-term strategy to interconnect the region's power systems, enable cross-border electricity trade, and strengthen energy security — has yet to scale to meet ASEAN's growing energy needs. The Laos–Thailand–Malaysia–Singapore (LTMS) Power Integration Project has demonstrated the viability of multilateral trade, but scaling it will require harmonized grid codes, coordinated dispatch, transparent transmission charges, formal dispute-settlement frameworks, and mechanisms to mobilize the private capital needed for cross-border infrastructure. This panel convenes energy transition experts from across the region to discuss how ASEAN can navigate a patchwork of legal systems, varying levels of market maturity, and divergent political priorities to build a truly integrated, functioning grid.

Gamifying Resilience: Play-Based Frameworks for Inclusive Climate Action
Climate action is often communicated through reports, technical frameworks and expert-led training. But communities facing water stress, heat, pollution, livelihood uncertainty and changing governance systems need more than information—they need the agency to understand systems, test choices and shape decisions. Gamifying Resilience is a 90-minute masterclass and manifesto-building session by SMART / Civic Games Lab exploring how games, simulations and participatory formats can become practical frameworks for climate action. The session will showcase field-tested approaches across climate awareness, rural development planning, integrated water management and city-building, demonstrating how complex challenges can be translated into playable systems using roles, cards, maps, budgets, scenarios and dilemmas. Participants will explore how play can enable communities to rehearse decisions, experience trade-offs, negotiate priorities and develop locally relevant pathways for resilience. The session will close with a collective Manifesto for Play-Based Climate Action—asking how play can move from novelty to a serious tool for inclusive climate planning and action.

Powering a safe and just renewable energy transition
Southeast Asia is scaling renewable energy at speed, and it should. But megawatts, mobilized capital, and avoided emissions do not tell us whether the transition is shaping a better future system – one that protects people and ecosystems, keeps energy affordable and reliable, shares costs and benefits fairly, earns social license, and takes responsibility for materials across their life cycle. This session treats ecological safety and social justice as the foundations for future systems that create enduring energy resilience. It draws lessons from the Responsible Energy Initiative - Philippines (REI PH), a multi-sector, collaborative action platform that Forum for the Future (Forum) and local partners convene to advance responsible renewable energy production and deployment. Thailand offers a contrasting market, with its own debate over imported power and gas dependence. Using both countries as complementary lenses through which to view the energy transition, the session moves from diagnosis to design and convenes the change-makers who could carry this work into new national contexts in Southeast Asia. The objectives of the session are: › Reframe ecological safety and social justice as the basis of a legitimate, resilient, and durable energy transition, not a compliance overlay. › Show a working model: what REI PH has learned in the Philippines, and how it could adapt to Thailand and beyond. › Identify concrete risks to avoid, enabling conditions, and near-term actions. › Convene the partners and funders who could extend safe and just RE programs to new national contexts.

Talent, Purpose, and the Asia Decade: Investing in Asia's Climate Talent
Every practitioner in this field has had the same moment: a project ready to go, except nobody on the team has the technical experience in storage systems, climate risk modelling, or offtake negotiation to take it forward. It's not a one-off — global demand for green talent is growing roughly twice as fast as supply, and by 2030 as many as one in five climate roles could go unfilled. With Asia's energy systems already strained by a global crisis and a looming super El Niño, closing this gap requires the urgency this decade actually demands. Bringing together funders, climate organisations, and talent partners, the session will explore where talent needs are sharpest, especially among CSOs, how funders can plug into closing them, and what it's really like to move into a climate career, or upskill within one – drawing on the perspectives of people who've made that transition. The evening closes with networking over food and drinks. This event is by invitation only.

What The Plans Miss: Women and Asia's Climate & Energy Justice Plans
Women are living the Just Energy Transition amid its conflicts. Why aren't they leading it?" Across Asia and the Pacific, 385 national energy policies were reviewed. Only 16 were centered on gender. In the meantime, most of the energy ministries in the region are still led by men. Asia's energy systems are evolving rapidly and the existing inequalities are determining who carries the costs of that change and who receives its benefits. Women are living through those resource distributions and working to shift this reality. This work is rarely present where the plans are written and the conversations that produce the plans remain largely technical. Join Sath-CSIDC at Bangkok Climate Action Week as we address this gap by moving women's knowledge and leadership from the margins to the centre of climate and energy discourse and build intentional relationships between practitioners working on these questions across the region to foster collaboration that continues past the session. Hear from an all women-panel with a diverse expertise in research, advocacy, community training, climate finance and movement organising and then join breakout groups to build the relationships and ideas that outlast the session. This isn't a room to sit and listen. It's a room to build in. Who is This For: Organizers, Researchers, Gender/JET Professionals, Energy Experts, Funders, Policy Experts, Justice-oriented Social Organizations, Regional and International Development Organizations Please register via the QR code! it will take even less than 2 minutes!
