ADBI-APAEA-CUEB Joint Workshop on Energy Security in Asia and the Pacific
Time of Event
8:30, Beijing time
Summary
Energy security is essential to national and regional security and economic growth and stability. However, it has become increasingly complex and challenging in recent decades due to several global challenges. These include geopolitical tensions, rapid technological advancements, environmental concerns, climate change, unconventional monetary policies in advanced countries, volatile capital flows, shifts in risk sentiments, and rising energy demand. Access to clean and affordable energy is essential for the smooth functioning of modern economies.
