报告摘要：

The world is undergoing rapid, challenging and complex change due to international geopolitics, climate change and the turn against economic globalisation. These drivers are interconnected and directly affect the evolution of the global energy landscape. Asia is a major global importer and consumer of energy and is inevitably affected by these key forces driving the international system. At the same time, in the face of such headwinds, the UN Sustainable Development Goals have to be met. In the energy context, this refers to SDG Goal 7 on ensuring affordable and clean energy. The presenter will share his personal views on these issues in two parts. In the first part, the presenter will discuss how these high-level international drivers are shaping the new Asian energy landscape. The second part will turn to examining issues facilitating and constraining energy access in the region at the planning and implementation levels.
