Wai-Shin explains how this uncertainty raises costs, delays investment and leaves Asian economies exposed to growing climate and financial risks. He also clarifies what tripling adaptation finance actually means, why the NCQG still lacks delivery pathways and how vague fossil language shapes capital flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We explore how policy clarity, risk-sharing mechanisms and transparency will shape the region\u2019s competitiveness, and why markets \u201creward clarity\u201d when it comes to climate ambition. Wai-Shin also reflects on what Southeast Asia needs next, from stronger grids and carbon pricing to meaningful support for adaptation and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LinkedIn:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/wai-shin-chan\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wai-Shin Chan<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen on\u00a0Spotify,\u00a0Apple Podcasts,\u00a0Amazon Music\u00a0and\u00a0others In this episode of Energy Insights, host Stephen sits down with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":70478,"template":"","categories":[586],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70477","podcasts","type-podcasts","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcasts"],"acf":{"manage_the_date":"global","selected_podcast":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/podcasts\/70477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/podcasts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/podcasts"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
