ISAS Special Reports

The South Asian countries – from India and Bhutan to Sri Lanka and Nepal – are accelerating their energy transition. Home to nearly a quarter of the world’s population, the region has vast renewable resources and growing energy markets. At the same time, geopolitical uncertainties have heightened concerns around energy security, reinforcing renewable energy as both an economic and strategic priority.

This Special Report brings together regional perspectives on the key trends and challenges shaping a just energy transition. Drawing from a roundtable co-organised by ISAS and the Council on Energy, Environment and Water, India, the report outlines pathways for greater regional cooperation to support the transition, manage declining fossil fuel revenues, and advance a shared renewable energy future.
