This Earth Day 2025, the world reflects on 55 years of environmental awareness under the theme “Our Power, Our Planet.” With over a billion people mobilizing globally, the call to address the climate crisis has never been more urgent. The rise in global energy demand, particularly in Asia, makes this a defining year for the energy transition.
For ESC, this is more than a theme—it’s our mission in action. For over two decades, we’ve been at the forefront of Asia’s clean energy shift, enabling governments, developers, and industries to make informed, sustainable choices in the energy landscape.
Why the Energy Transition Matters Now
The world has already crossed the critical 1.5°C warming threshold, with CO₂ emissions reaching a record 37.8 billion tonnes in 2024. Without rapid change, the planet is on course for a 2.1°C rise by 2100. Yet only 35% of major companies have climate strategies in place.
For South and Southeast Asia, the urgency is even greater. Energy demand is expected to double by 2050, but so too are the opportunities for clean, affordable solutions. Solar panel costs have dropped by 93% in a decade, while wind, solar, and hydro capacity continue to grow. Still, the $400 billion annual investment gap identified by the International Energy Agency threatens progress.
Countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam are increasingly aligning economic growth with sustainability. But without robust environmental safeguards and inclusive planning, this momentum could stall.
