The highest per capita CO2 emissions in the region is Singapore with 36.34
tonnes per person, much higher than the global average. This reflects Singapore's
strong industrial development and high energy demand, despite the country's
investment in clean energy technologies. Meanwhile, Indonesia and Vietnam have
relatively high CO2 emissions per unit of energy, indicating a large dependence on
fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
Efforts to reduce emissions and develop renewable energy
ASEAN countries have recognized the need to transition to a green economy and
have made many efforts to reduce CO2 emissions through promoting the use of
renewable energy. Some countries have achieved certain results:

Vietnam has become a leader in renewable energy in the region, especially solar
energy. In 2021, Vietnam will reach the level of electricity output from renewable
energy, accounting for 20% of the country's total electricity output. This is an
