● Like other countries SEA faces a challenge of
boosting electricity access while meeting its
pledge to cut climate changing emissions.
● About 84% of SEA fossil fuel power plants are
not compatible with future catastrophic
damage due to climate change. (according to
the UV of Oxford.)
● The report comes from a major united nations
study of the impacts of rising global temp 1.5
degrees C is based on the amount of carbon
expected to be emitted over the lifespan of the
plants.
● Those estimates are compared to how much
carbon can be released without the planet
reaching its certain temperature-increase
limits.
● Coal plants don’t meet the requirements for
keeping the temp within its 1.5 degree C
industrial level.
● The challenge is facing policymakers in
government and finance about what kind of
power technologies to support, especially in
South-east Asia, where developing nations are
seeking to bring electricity and wealth to
growing populations without exacerbating
climate change.
