ESCAP: Overview

� 53 members of ESCAP

� 9 associated members

� Rapid economic growth

� High population density

� 40% of the world’s land area territory

� 60% of the world’s poor population

� ESCAP fosters regional cooperation to address development challenges and towards achieving SD with focus on three dimensions

Energy Outlook

• Half of global growth in energy demand will come from India and China

• By 2030, China will overtake the EU as the world’s largest oil importing region

• Russia remains the largest net exporter of energy

• 628 million people lack access to electricity

• 1.8 billion people still using traditional biomass for heating and cooking

• 1.3 million people are estimated to die each year from indoor air pollution

• Steady progress in reducing the energy intensity of its economies. However, greater potential in efficiency exists

THE REGION DRIVING GLOBAL CLEAN ENERGY DEVELOPMENT

• Global clean energy investment fell for a second year in a row, investment in the region continued to grow steadily in 2013, increasing 10% to $102 billion

• On a regional basis, 2013 clean energy installations dropped across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In contrast, this region increased by 64% with more than 50.1 GW of capacity installed

• More than a third of Asia’s gains in capacity were in the solar sectors in China and Japan

• China is the leading market for clean energy finance, attracting $54.2 billion in 2013 and ranking 6th globally for clean energy investment intensity (clean energy investment/dollar GDP), above Germany and the US

• Japan became the fastest-growing clean energy market in the world, jumping 80% in 2014
