AYO Research Center (AYO Recent) and Youth for Energy Southeast Asia (Y4E-SEA) have signed an MoU to collaborate on a joint research project, titled Project Clean Future. The theme of the research is “assessing ASEAN’s readiness for a clean energy transition”. The Research focuses on knowledge gaps,  awareness, investment landscape and gender disparities in work opportunities, and the profile of existing clean energy jobs.

The research will encompass a multidimensional approach by engaging relevant stakeholders and conducting in-depth analyses to capture a holistic view of ASEAN’s readiness for the clean energy transition: surveys and data collection, Identify challenges and gaps, and develop policy recommendation and action toolkits. The outcome of the research will be captured in a comprehensive research report will be jointly prepared by the two organizations and will be published on our website(s) in December 2023.

The project has secured a 30-minute presentation slot at the SDG7 Pavilion at UNFCCC COP28 in Dubai. The research findings will also be presented at relevant conferences and platforms to engage with a wider audience and be made available to policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders in the energy sector on our website(s).
