Report released on East Asia's sustainable energy future

 
This past weekend in Singapore, the World Bank released Winds of Change: East Asia's Sustainable Energy Future, a report that looks at how countries in the region can reduce greenhouse gas emissions without threatening growth.

A few key highlights from the report:

• Governments in East Asia need to transform their energy sectors toward much higher energy efficiency with more widespread use of low-carbon technologies.
• Shifts to clean energy require major domestic policy and institutional reforms.
• Low-carbon fuels for power generation could meet half of the region's power demand by 2030.
• Developed countries need to transfer substantial financing and low-carbon technologies.
