#RenewableEnergy in #ASEAN countries could surpass fossil fuels by 2030, but requires grid updates, power system upgrades and regional cooperation.

A new roadmap informed by SEI modelling emphasizes a shared power grid and biofuel trade for sustainable transition.

How do we transform agri-food systems without reinforcing the very paradigms driving today’s crises?

SEI researchers explore how agroecology and degrowth together can challenge power, decolonize knowledge and rethink what “thriving” means.

🌍 The #COP30 final decision text does not mention #FossilFuels, leaving out a key culprit in global heating.

The 2025 Production Gap Report found that countries plan to produce more than 120% the level of fossil fuels aligned with limiting warming to 1.5ºC.

Report co-lead Emily Ghosh weighs in.
Photo of Emily Ghosh with text overhead of her quote that reads, "The omission of fossil fuels from the COP30 decision text does not weaken countries’ responsibility to reduce fossil fuel production to its lowest possible levels. Resources must be redirected from fossil fuel extraction to a well-managed energy transition rooted in equity and justice. As the Production Gap Report shows, this is essential to keeping the 1.5°C goal alive."

🏭 In Latin America, #methane mitigation presents low-cost, high-impact opportunities across the region’s most emission-intensive sectors.

SEI experts Aminta Estrada Leyva and Ivonne Lobos Alva point the way forward – and the path runs through the EU.

💡 Climate change affects both #energy and #water systems, but each sector is typically managed in isolation, often missing critical risks and trade-offs. Two SEI planning tools, LEAP and WEAP, can be used jointly to highlight how decisions in one sector may impact the other.
