The Kayan hydropower plant is not just an infrastructure project within the framework of the Asia Zero Emission Community but also a strategic investment for Indonesia’s energy security and decarbonisation efforts.
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said on October 7 that leaders of the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC) will agree on a 10-year action plan, aimed at promoting decarbonisation efforts in Southeast Asia, at their summit in Laos this week.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has welcomed Japan's pledge of 10 billion USD in financial support for decarbonisation efforts by its member states.
