The ASEAN-UK Green Transition Fund (GTF) is the UK’s flagship programme to accelerate ASEAN’s transition to a clean and climate resilient economy by reducing emissions in key sectors, supporting green economic growth, and improving livelihoods of vulnerable people.
The scope of ASEAN-UK GTF focuses on five pillars:
Pillar III of the ASEAN-UK Green Transition Fund portfolio encompasses themes that support a clean and just energy transition: developing resilient and flexible power systems that integrate renewables and reduce coal reliance; advancing regional energy transition and investment modelling; promoting a clean and competitive industrial base aligned with international standards; and effectively implementing the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2026-2030.
Building on existing ASEAN initiatives such as the ASEAN Power Grid, the ASEAN-UK GTF will support regional exchanges on flexibility, smart grids, energy storage and early diagnostics and pilots for industrial decarbonisation. The GTF provides technical assistance to support ASEAN in adopting the necessary knowledge and technologies for a clean and just transition.
