Foreword The Asia and the Pacific region has long been a global growth engine,marked by economic resilience, steady growth prospects and innovativeeconomies. But significant external risks loom on the horizon, including rising tradeprotectionism, global supply chain fragmentation, slowing consumer demand,constrained government budgets and the continued effects of conflicts andunchecked climate change. In the face of these headwinds, theEconomic and Social Survey of Asia andthe Pacific 2026highlights the tremendous potential of the energy transition.This transition can help countries of the region meet their energy security andclimate ambitions. It can also unlock new sources of growth, create new jobs,expand prosperity and build more resilient and inclusive economies. Making the most of this opportunity requires policies and investments thatbuild on the region’s remarkable progress on renewable energy in recent years. ThisSurveyincludes options and approaches to reduce reliance on fossil fuels,boost renewable energy and ultimately benefit households, businesses andgovernments. This is especially critical today, as we witness in real time the effects of adependence on fossil fuels, where every conflict risks sending shockwavesthrough the global economy. Homegrown renewable energy provides a secureexit plan for countries to escape this trap. Guided by the ideas and information contained in thisSurvey, countries acrossAsia and the Pacific can seize this moment to accelerate the transitiontowards sustainable energy systems and forge a future of stability, prosperityand sustainability for people and planet.
