Climate change
Renewable energy makes up a very small but rapidly rising share of energy in the Indo-Pacific. Australia is working with our neighbours to accelerate its deployment.
In addition to supporting countries' emissions reduction targets, increased uptake of renewable energy in the region will deliver benefits such as cleaner air, creation of employment opportunities in the renewable energy sector and improved energy security.
Australia is working with countries in the Indo-Pacific to support deployment of a range of renewable technologies, including solar, wind, hydropowerand biomass, as well as support for improved energy efficiency, which contributes to Paris Agreement goals.
Some of our key support mechanisms include:
- Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific(AIFFP)
- Pacific Climate Infrastructure Financing Partnership
- REnew Pacific
- Australia-Indonesia Climate and Infrastructure Partnership
- Australian Development Investments (ADI)
- Australian Climate Finance Partnership (ACFP)
- Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I)
