The UK has committed to investing £110 million to support the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Green Recovery Platform, which aims to accelerate the development of green infrastructure in the ASEAN area. It is aimed at creating jobs in environmentally friendly sectors, including renewable energy generation, energy efficiency systems, and waste management, by unlocking US$7 billion in public and private financing. The UK recently became a Dialogue Partner of ASEAN, the first agreed by ASEAN in 25 years, and Liz Truss, the Foreign Secretary is currently visiting SE Asia to boost ties with the UK, so there should be closer co-operation between the UK and ASIAN nations, particularly regarding new technologies.

Futureproofing Data Centres: How To Navigate Grid Constraints And Alternative Power Strategies
