What do tariffs bring to energy transition?

In this episode of Climate Watch, Fei Fei explores how U.S. tariffs are shaping the clean energy transition in Asia. We speak with Putra Adhiguna, Managing Director of the Energy Shift Institute in Jakarta, to understand how countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia are being affected by shifting U.S. trade policies on clean energy. From trade routes to solar supply chains, this episode looks at how energy transition goals remain a priority—even in the face of economic headwinds. Also, Putra brings his insights on Indonesia’s transitioning away from coal.
