Pacific Energy Update

Date created: 07 March 2022

The 14 developing member countries (DMCs) of the Pacific Department of the Asi an Development Bank (ADB) cover a wide diversity. Populations range from the top three countries, representing 87% of the region’s population, to the remaining 11 countries, with a total of less than 1.5 million people. The region covers 15% of the globe’s surface, with remote countries ranging from large single landmass entities to smaller countries covering over 900 islands. The region will suffer from climate change impacts such as rising sea levels and increased storm severity, even while the region is among the world’s least contributors of greenhouse gasses. Theregion faces unique challenges in building clean, reliable, and cost-efficient power systems that provide universal supply required for human development.
