The UK has a range of objectives on energy and industrial sector decarbonisation in ASEAN, from domestic UK energy security and investment, to maintaining a trajectory to reaching Net Zero commitments and phasing out the most polluting fossil fuels rapidly within a region who's rapid but carbon-intensive growth could make or break global efforts to limit temperature rises to 1.5c.

• Based on a strategic awareness of the technical challenges, and UK opportunities and risks, raise capability and capacity of UK Government within the region in respect of these issues, through advice and training to UK Missions, development programmes, and officials at all levels, acting as the regional thematic lead on these issues in a pastoral and professional development sense. 
• Working alongside and tailored to country-contexts as well as UK Missions’ capacity and capabilities, provide technical capacity building and advice to host Governments to complement UK development programming and advance policy objectives.
• Through these activities and other policy interventions make some of the most visible UK policy contributions to regional transition to a 1.5c, resilient future economy, through more confident and rapid decarbonisation of the energy and industrial sectors of ASEAN economies.
