The ADB's Energy Sector Directional Guide (ESDG) provides the strategic direction for the energy sector in the Asia and Pacific region. The guide assesses current trends, challenges, and opportunities, and outlines the priorities and focus for the energy sector in line with ADB's Strategy 2030. The ESDG aligns with the seven operational priorities of Strategy 2030 and is based on the five policy principles of the 2021 Energy Policy. The energy sector plays a crucial role in supporting development in other sectors and is responsible for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions. The ESDG aims to support ADB staff in conducting energy sector operations in line with the 2021 Energy Policy and the Sustainable Development Goals.
