Environment Research and Technology Development Fund 1CN-2206 (FY2022-2024) - Research on the national long-term roadmap to synergise mitigation and adaptation towards a net zero and resilient ASEAN

Explanation of research overview diagram

Sub-Theme 1 will develop a macroframe (methodology) for a long-term roadmap for mitigation and adaptation, taking into account national circumstances. Research results from sub-themes 2 and 3 will be synthesised and deliverables (e.g. guidance) to support the development of an integrated roadmap for mitigation and adaptation will be prepared and published. In Sub-Theme 2, the key factors in the transition of fossil fuels (coal and gas) and the large-scale diffusion of renewable energy will be clarified and policy recommendations on mitigation transition strategies will be made through consultation on questionnaires and various analyses via a consortium of industry, government, academia and private sectors for the four main ASEAN countries. Sub-Theme 3 will identify adaptation sectors and industry sectors that are closely related to the large-scale diffusion of renewable energy and other energy sources with respect to four major ASEAN countries, and analyse the impact of future large-scale diffusion of renewable energy on national and local land-use change, adaptation and resilience, etc. This research will also focus on the aspect of action research, and will reflect the voices of the financial community and youth groups through the co-development of methodologies and analysis frames in the consortium and the process of discussion and dialogue on the analysis results, and will directly lead to policy implementation that takes into account not only the technical aspects but also the economic, social and institutional aspects. The outcome is to contribute to capacity building in developing countries and to the formulation and revision of strategies and plans in ASEAN countries and the ASEAN region.
