Sustainable Energy for All—Tracking Progress in Asia and the Pacific: A Summary Report
Asian Development Bank | September 2015
Abstract
The Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative is the global effort rallying action towards a transformation
in the energy sector by the year 2030. With targets to increase energy use, expand energy efficiency, and
ensure energy access for all, SE4All’s priorities are tied closely to the challenges of developing Asia and the
Pacific, which is confronting issues of energy sustainability, security, and widespread energy poverty.
In the interest of combining efforts and resources to meet the challenge, the Asian Development Bank,
the United Nations Development Programme, and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission
for Asia and the Pacific have partnered to act as the leading organizations for the SE4All Regional Hub for
Asia and the Pacific. Together, they are supporting actions among developing countries in the region that
will put them on track to transform their energy sectors, in line with SE4All. This report summarizes the
initial activities of the Regional Hub, and contextualizes the challenges in Asia and the Pacific with the global
efforts to reach the 2030 targets.
