The new energy landscape: leadership in emerging economies

Emerging economies are home to 56% of the world’s population, yet lower incomes, limited educational opportunities and other related factors have led to economic disparity, hampering progress across these regions. In 2023, the UAE launched ALTÉRRA – the world’s largest private climate investment fund, backed by BlackRock, Brookfield Asset Management and TPG – catalysing investment in emerging economies. It is vital that our industry works to maintain this direction of travel, especially when one considers that the World Economic Forum expects 85% of new energy demand to come from outside the developed world (which only generates 18% of global power). By encouraging fresh investment and accelerating infrastructure development in emerging economies, we have an opportunity to create a lasting and inclusive impact globally, to drive humanity’s next era of progress.
