Southeast Asia Energy Outlook 2026 Energy outlook to 2050 based on targets and pledges
…under today’s policy settings. Coal demand peaks around 390 Mtce by 2030 and declines to 140 Mtce by 2050, driven mainly by reduced coal-fired power generation and faster renewables deployment. Oil demand peaks in the early 2030s and falls to around 3.9 mb/d by 2050 as transport electrification and efficiency gains accelerate. Natural gas demand peaks at around 205 bcm around 2030 before declining to about 110 bcm by 2050, as low-emissions alternatives expand across power, industry and end uses. Rapid electrification reshapes final energy consumption and reduces import exposure. Total final consumption reaches 26…

Pledges to Progress 2025 Pledges to Progress Company Assessment
…of target-setting, implementation strategies and disclosure, based on a framework put together by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the United Nations Environment Programme’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO), and the Environmental Defense Fund. Companies may not need to undertake every strategy in the framework in order to meet their targets.Working cooperatively with the companies and the OGDC Secretariat, the goal is to provide transparency on the actions taken to achieve Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Charter and where the pathway to improved performance lies. It covers a broad range of companies, not only those that are Charter signatories.

France
…nuclear fleet, the second-largest after the United States. As an early leader in setting out an ambitious energy transition, France legislated a net zero emissions target for 2050 in its 2019 Energy and Climate Act and aims at reducing by 55% its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. A national low-carbon strategy with 5-year carbon budgets and a multiannual plan for energy investments implement the long-term target.
Acknowledging the need to maintain electricity security in the longer term and a low-carbon footprint France invests in efficiency, six new nuclear power plants and renewable energy, notably offshore…- Overview

Israel
Israel endorsed a target of generating 10% of the country’s electricity from renewable sources in 2020. Solar thermal and photovoltaic power plants are expected to account for over 70% of total generation, with the remainder deriving from household PV units, wind energy and biomass.
The statistical data for Israel are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant Israeli authorities. The use of such data by the OECD is without prejudice to the status of the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank under the terms of international law.- Overview

Global Energy and Climate Model Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS)
…the World Energy Outlook (WEO). The intention of this scenario is to reflect the prevailing direction of travel for the energy system based on a detailed reading of the latest policy settings in countries around the world. It takes into account specific energy, climate and related industrial policies that have been adopted or put forward, as well as policy intentions not yet codified into law but supported by markets, infrastructure and financial conditions.Like the Current Policies Scenario, the STEPS is an exploratory scenario in that it does not target a predetermined outcome. Instead, it sets the starting conditions and…

Scaling Up Transition Finance Financial institutions and transition finance
…At the same time, it highlighted the important role financial institutions already play through transition finance in engaging with clients to support transition efforts. The immediate challenges facing transition finance essentially break down into two issues: expanding financial flows and clearly establishing the distinguishing “transition” characteristic.Scaling financial flows requires a broader conception of value. Emerging market and developing economies face outsized investment needs but have relatively shallow capital markets, necessitating cross-border finance that respects region-specific pathways. Two participation gaps must be addressed: “left-out” actors (e.g. small and medium enterprises and capacity-constrained firms) that need…

…mental health, thermal comfort, and safety: Mental healthStudies show that thermal discomfort and fuel poverty have negative mental health impacts – such as anxiety, stress and depression – and that efficiency improvements can improve this. The impact on mental health may be enhanced if combined with financial support mechanisms and strong community engagement.Thermal comfortRetrofits that include installing insulation are shown to enable occupants to raise indoor air temperatures to comfortable levels. SafetyEfficient public lighting can enhance safety perceptions. For instance, efficient streetlighting projects in Brazil and India reduced energy costs by up to 80%, improved visibility and perception of safer street...

Lithuania 2025 Executive summary
…While this development is positive, the pace is not yet sufficient to meet its 2030 renewable electricity capacity targets of 4.5 gigawatts (GW) onshore wind, 1.4 GW offshore wind and 4.1 GW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants. Onshore wind is being built without subsidies, but market conditions need to be monitored, and policy action taken if they become less favourable. Offshore wind progress is more uncertain, and Lithuania was not the only country to see an offshore wind auction cancelled in 2024 resulting from a lack of bidders – a sign that investors need greater policy and financial certainty. Beyond renewables…
