Asia Pacific accounts for more than half of global energy-related CO₂ emissions — making the region decisive in the world’s energy transition. Yet today, less than 1% of transition funding goes to people-centric solutions: the very levers that determine whether transitions succeed socially and politically.
In partnership with AVPN, BCG is proud to launch the second publication in our People-Centric Energy Transition series. Drawing on insights from 30+ stakeholders across governments, business, finance, and civil society, the report:
- Highlights the funding gap and strategies for a Just Energy Transition in Asia Pacific
- Shares a foundational framework to measure people-centric impact
- Introduces ASCENT, a new platform dedicated to scaling people-first solutions, with Cathay Financial Holdings as inaugural sponsor
The global energy transition is not just a technological or economic challenge — it is a deeply human one. To succeed, it must be inclusive, equitable, and people-centric.
