The geographical scope stretches from Turkey in the west to the Pacific island state of Kiribati in the east, and from the Russian Federation in the north to New Zealand in the south. The region is divided into five sub-regions - East and North-East Asia (ENEA), North and Central Asia (NCA), South-East Asia (SEA), South and South-West Asia (SSWA), and the Pacific. In 2014, Asia-Pacific economies produced 32 per cent of the world’s GDP and held more than half of the global energy supply (Table A-i). Yet the energy challenges encountered by Asia-Pacific countries remain large and distinctly diverse. These challenges add further difficulties in achieving theSDG7 targets and therefore, necessitate an early review of the state to foster the development of plans that would set the region on the correct pathway to SDG7.
