Building Workforce Systems for Asia's Energy Transition
The energy transition across South and Southeast Asia is accelerating rapidly. Investment in renewable energy, grid modernization, electrification, and other transition-related technologies continues to grow, becoming increasingly central to regional development and economic priorities. At the same time, international organizations including IRENA, the IEA, and the ILO have highlighted growing workforce and skills requirements associated with the scale of the transition. As new occupations emerge across renewable energy, grid modernization, energy planning, climate finance, and related sectors, workforce systems are under increasing pressure to respond to evolving industry needs. Across the region, countries are confronting shortages in implementation-ready talent, evolving skills requirements, and limited coordination between employers, workforce institutions, and transition practitioners. While significant resources are being directed toward technology deployment and infrastructure development, comparatively less attention is being paid to the workforce systems, learning pathways, and institutional coordination needed to support long-term implementation. This challenge is particularly visible in distributed and decentralized energy systems, where much of the workforce involved in installation, operations, and maintenance remains informal, project-based, or insufficiently reflected in workforce planning processes. As countries scale energy transitions, understanding and supporting the full diversity of transition workers, from technicians and installers to planners and policy practitioners becomes increasingly important for ensuring resilient and inclusive outcomes. This event brings together philanthropy, workforce institutions, employers, implementation actors, and ecosystem partners to explore how workforce systems and institutional readiness can evolve alongside the pace of the energy transition.

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.

Trust That Shifts Power: A Talanoa (dialogue) on philanthropy and locally led adaptation
Finance shapes not only what adaptation work gets done but also who decides, whose knowledge matters, how risk is shared and whether communities have the freedom to respond to changing circumstances. This dialogue will bring together community representatives, philanthropic funders, intermediaries and adaptation practitioners for an open conversation on trust, power and locally led adaptation. It will not be a panel or a series of institutional presentations. Participants will share experiences, listen to different perspectives and explore what trust-based funding looks like in practice. Some of the expected dialogue participants include various community groups, Plastic Solutions Fund, Turning Tides Facility, Samdhana Institute, Jesuit Refugee Service and many more. Our central question is: What would adaptation finance look and feel like if communities had genuine power to shape decisions, use resources and define success? The conversation will explore: • When has trust enabled communities to act—and when has its absence created barriers? • What behaviours and funding practices build genuine trust? • What prevents funders from sharing power, providing flexibility or accepting uncertainty? • What could funders, intermediaries and community partners do differently? By the end of the session, we hope to have identified practical changes that can make adaptation funding more responsive to local priorities, more equitable in decision-making, and more supportive of long-term relationships.

The Politics of Rice: Redirecting Agricultural Support for Southeast Asia's New Climate and Economy
Every day, governments around the world spend more than $2 billion on agricultural subsidies, roughly 1% of global GDP. In Southeast Asia, rice sits at the heart of these expenditures: a crop with profound political significance, embedded in national food sovereignty narratives, and backed by some of the most entrenched subsidy systems in the world. The region produces around a quarter of the world's rice supply, and the climate cost of that production is substantial (Project Drawdown, 2025). Rice cultivation generates nearly 300 million tons of CO2-equivalent emissions in Southeast Asia annually, contributing to a global picture in which rice accounts for approximately 9% of all anthropogenic methane and 10% of cropland nitrous oxide emissions (Wang et al., 2020). Global methane from rice production stands at 0.8 to 1.0 Gt CO2-equivalent per year and is growing (Jackson et al., 2024; Nabuurs et al., 2022). Conventional input subsidy regimes actively reinforce this trajectory, incentivizing practices that sustain emissions, degrade soils, and entrench farmer dependency on inputs. Yet for all this public spending, smallholder rice farmers capture only a fraction of the value. The bulk accrues to millers, input suppliers, and trading enterprises, actors with the political leverage to shape policy in their favour and strong incentives to resist change. The case for repurposing this public support is not contested. Redirecting it toward climate-smart practices, farmers' livelihoods, and sustainable food systems is increasingly well-evidenced. For example, repurposed subsidies could catalyze farmer uptake of proven emissions-reduction practices, from alternate wetting and drying techniques to improved seed varieties and precision nutrient management, innovations that exist but currently lack the financial incentives to scale. What is missing is not better policy design, nor the technologies themselves. What is missing is a clear understanding of the political and narrative conditions that make reform viable, and a regional coalition prepared to act on it. The High-Level Panel for a Just Rural Transition, convened by Clim-Eat under the Voices for Just Rural Transitions initiative and chaired by former President of Costa Rica H.E. Carlos Alvarado Quesada, has been developing precisely that understanding. Its work examines how actors, institutions, and narratives interact to block or enable reform, and what coalitions and strategies can shift that balance. This event brings the Panel's work into the room at a critical moment: one week before the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, and with COP31 in Turkey on the horizon. The purpose is not to broadcast a finished message but to co-develop and stress-test different messages. Therefore, the event will be hosted under Chatham House Rule, to facilitate a trusted and open environment. The event is part of the Bangkok Climate Action Week Food Systems Cluster, with the theme: Food systems that work for all - people, nature, culture, and future”. The 7th of October is the dedicated day for a range of events around rice, all taking place at the ASAI Bangkok Chinatown (531 Charoen Krung Road, Bangkok, TH 10100).

Climate Friendly Rice in SEA-China: Practices, Challenges and Possibilities
The frequency, intensity and duration of extreme heat events have risen sharply over the past half century, and the risks to agri-food systems and ecosystems are set to soar in the future, according to the latest joint report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Rice, the world’s most in-demand staple crop, is not only vulnerable to climate change but also exacerbates it, as traditional cultivation methods generate substantial quantities of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Additionally, its highly water-intensive nature poses a formidable challenge to an increasingly arid planet. Currently, climate-friendly rice farming is shifting from a single technology focused on reducing methane emissions from paddy fields to a comprehensive approach that balances emissions reduction, adaptation, food security. Although international agricultural climate policies emphasize, at the value level, the importance of farmers’ livelihoods, food security, and the role of vulnerable groups and smallholder farmers in climate adaptation, key challenges in implementation remain: whether smallholder farmers can truly participate, how to mitigate the risks associated with technology transition, and how to provide incentives for them to benefit. This also creates opportunities for NGOs, community networks, and local knowledge producers to play a meaningful role. In China, a number of NGOs have taken climate-friendly rice as a starting point, integrating traditional agricultural wisdom with modern scientific and technological advancements to explore technical systems and practical guidelines tailored to diverse production entities, ranging from large-scale commercial farms to family farms and smallholder households. By conducting pilot demonstrations across multiple provinces and providing training on concepts and techniques, these organizations are actively promoting the localized implementation and nationwide adoption of climate friendly rice farming technologies. China and the rice-growing regions of SEA share similar climate challenges, such as high temperatures, droughts, floods, and water resource stress, while differing in policy, market mechanism, and governance. Their respective localized practices can provide case-based foundation for inter-regional exchange and knowledge sharing, while also seeking an opportunity to develop SEA-China climate-friendly rice network.

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.

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 Commitments to Capital: Mobilizing Climate Finance Through Energy Transition Country Platforms
Emerging economies face a pressing dual challenge: accelerating the transition to low-carbon energy systems while unlocking the up-front investment to achieve it. With early-stage energy transition financing needs far outstripping available public resources, scaling up private capital mobilization has become indispensable. Energy transition country platforms — such as Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs), country-led investment platforms, and blended finance facilities — have emerged as a promising mechanism to align public policy, concessional finance, and private capital around national transition priorities. JETPs in countries such as South Africa, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Senegal have secured approximately USD 46.5 billion in commitments, demonstrating the potential of coordinated transition platforms to aggregate finance and policy support around country-led plans. However, experience to date also highlights important implementation challenges: slow disbursement, project preparation bottlenecks, limited private capital mobilization, and the need to ensure a just transition that creates jobs and supports affected communities. The central question is no longer whether the transition is achieveable. It is how to leverage initial commitments into investable projects that mobilize private finance at scale, and deliver a transition that is economically inclusive, socially just, and aligned with national development priorities. This panel will explore how energy transition platforms can move from commitment to catalytic investment mobilization, with a focus on: 1. Lessons emerging from JETP implementation: What has worked in countries such as South Africa, Indonesia, Vietnam and Senegal, and where have bottlenecks emerged? 3. Investable energy transition platform: Which governance, policy, and institutional features build investor confidence and accelerate deployment? 4. Strategic use of concessional finance: What roles can grants, guarantees, first-loss capital, and technical assistance play in crowding in private investment? 4. Economically and socially beneficial transition: How can transition platforms support jobs, local value chains, reskilling, and community development?

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) Scholarship 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.

EMPOWER FOR IMPACT: ADVANCING ANIMAL WELFARE IN THE FUTURE OF FOOD
Empower for Impact: Advancing Animal Welfare in the Future of Food invites you to explore climate action from an important perspective that is still often overlooked - food systems, factory farming, and farmed animal welfare. When we talk about climate change, we often think of energy, transport, waste, or urban development. But in reality, the food we produce, purchase, and consume every day also plays a role in shaping the future of people, animals, and the planet. 🌍🥗 Throughout the program, participants will learn through interactive activities, discussions, and perspectives from people across different sectors, helping them understand how food production, animal welfare, responsible consumption, and sustainability are connected to our shared future. 💡 We want this to be more than just a space to learn... it is a space where everyone can ask questions, exchange perspectives, connect with new people, and think together about how we can help build a food system that is better for people, animals, and the planet. This activity is part of Bangkok Climate Action Week (BKKCAW) under the theme “New Economy, New Climate.”

Smart Transfarmer
This hands-on workshop invites everyone to explore how technology, traditional farming knowledge, and creativity can come together to shape the future of food in a changing climate. Through a learning journey, participants move from the field to the digital world and back again: learning alongside experienced farmers, building an open-source FarmBot, coding automated planting and watering systems, experimenting with AI-powered plant identification, and finally harvesting and sharing what they have grown. Presented as a live, participatory experience at Bangkok Climate Action Week, the workshop inspires people how we can transform from technology end-users into makers and problem-solvers. By connecting digital skills with food, farming, and real-world climate challenges, it demonstrates how accessible technology can become a tool for climate action, community resilience, and a new generation of agricultural innovation.

In a world filled with uncertainty, how can we take care of our inner well-being? Join us to explore the power of Mindfulness—cultivating awareness of our thoughts, emotions, and inner changes, so that we can move beyond simply “surviving” uncertainty and learn to respond to the changing world with greater awareness and intention. This 3-hour workshop invites you to care for your inner world, discover the small but meaningful power within yourself, and transform it into a force to care for the world and contribute to a more sustainable future.
