The project was ledby VietNam and co-sponsoredbyChina;Japan;Korea;Papua New Guinea;ChineseTaipei;andThailand.Speakers and participants came fromthe private sector,businessassociations,international organizations,research institutions,andAPECeconomies'relevant Ministries andgovernmentagencies. Through sharinginformation, experiences, best practices, the“APEC Workshopon Promoting New Smart Materials for Sustainable Energy”aimedto providecapacitybuilding for member economies,especially developing ones inpromoting innovation of new materials and technologies to promote sustainableenergy through disseminating information and knowledge about the latestscientific advancements and technologies associated with new materials forsustainable energy; identifying and sharing experiences in addressing challengesunder promotion of new materials; as well as promoting network opportunitiesthrough fostering collaborations, partnerships, and shared initiatives. II.Background While climate change is in the spotlight with highly risingglobal temperatureand increasing erratic and severe weather patterns, it is increasingly recognizedthat more joint efforts should be made for sustainability in general, sustainableenergy in particular. In that sense, smart materials such as smart rooftops,thermoelectric, photovoltaics, pyroelectrics, chromoactive, photoluminescent, aswell as other innovations, help to conserve renewable energy smartly and sustainably.1However, APEC member economies, especially developing onesmight have limited capacity, technologies, resources, as well as experiences topromote innovation and/or mechanism for innovation, especially in developingand adopting new smart materials. Through identifying the challenges, theworkshop aims todisseminate information and knowledge about the latestscientific advancements and technologies associated with new materials forsustainable energy; identifying and sharing experiences in addressing challengesunder promotion of new materials; as well as promoting network opportunitiesthrough fostering collaborations, partnerships, and shared initiatives. This project is in line with the Chair’s Statement of the 13thAPEC EnergyMinisterial Meeting (EMM 13), APEC members economies are committed to“promoting energy security,and ensuring access to affordable,reliable,sustainable, and modern energy for all, … including by fostering collaboration,such as voluntary sharing of emerging and available technologies under mutuallyagreedterms,capacity building,transparent and interoperable regulatoryframeworks, and exchange of best practices and experience”. This project is in line with the EWG’s strategic plan 2019–2023 that states“strengthe
