Renewable Energy Manufacturing: Opportunities for Southeast Asia

The report examines the potential for Southeast Asia to develop manufacturing capabilities in solar PV, batteries, and electric two-wheelers. It highlights the region's high vulnerability to climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10% to 25% by 2030 to align with a 1.5°C pathway. The development of local low-carbon mobility and clean power manufacturing could generate USD 90 billion to USD 100 billion in revenues by 2030 and create 6 million jobs by 2050.

• Southeast Asia faces significant climate risks, with five of its ten economies being among the world's 20 most vulnerable countries, and a potential GDP loss of up to 30 percent by 2050 due to extreme weather and rising temperatures.
• To limit global warming to a 1.5°C pathway, Southeast Asia must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent to 25 percent by 2030 compared to its current trajectory.
• The expansion of clean power and low-carbon mobility manufacturing in Southeast Asia could result in 6 million renewable energy jobs by 2050 and revenues between USD 90 billion and USD 100 billion by 2030.
