1. Program Description :
South East Asia region is facing its rapid economy development. With many industrial and
commercial businesses make growth, it automatically increasing the energy use for
industrialization. According to International Energy Agency (IEA) report (2014), Southeast
Asias energy demand will continue to increase by 80 % from now to year 2035. With the
main energy supply is provided by fossil fuel combustion (coal,gas, petroleum etc), it is
raising concern about environmental pollution and global climate change considering the side
effect of fossil fuel burning.
Meanwhile, in contradiction with the large cities, there are many remote areas and villages in
South East Asia region which cannot be accessed by grid electricity. This condition raised the
demand of alternative energy as potential solution for improving access to energy and
promoting alternative energy in ways to disseminate economic development for rural areas.
However, due to lack of information and socializations, still few parts of society in cities or
villages are using the sustainable ways of energy generation. It is mostly caused by lack of
proper information and infrastructure access for renewable energy technologies to be
implemented in society. Based on this fact, active participation from all stakeholders and
society elements to disseminate
In this modern era, the youth have important role in moving the social issues. Youth are able
to carry strong messages and develop creative ways to deliver vivid messages about
importance of sustainable energy in their environment.
