Stefan Seer of the Austrian Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology shares some opportunities and limitations that can be drawn from using technology in assessing human mobility.

Indonesia’s transitional path to clean energy will require a considerable amount of resources—human, technological, and financial, among others. The Asian Institute of Technology, with its core competency and extensive research work in the field of energy, aims to participate in and contribute to Indonesia’s indigenous energy development process.

Waste treatment technologies, characterized as stepwise, were developed by the Korea Environmental Industry and Technology Institute, with the aim to build a resource recirculation society. Demand for Korea's model of landfill gas power plant is high among developing countries due to the economic and environmental benefits it produces.

Biofuels, while seen as a favorable solution to the economic recession, are not all drought- and saline-resistant, and can also be expensive. A promising and cost-effective biofuel source is sweet sorghum, though there is no significant bioethanol production that currently exists for the crop.

As China faces pressure in managing its energy supply and greenhouse gas emissions, it needs to completely transform its energy structure in the next few decades by turning to renewable energy use. Photovoltaics, in particular, will help China meet its energy transition target.

Energy demand is projected to increase annually through 2035. An alternative approach to meeting this challenge is the scaling up of low-carbon technology (LCT) and energy efficiency. IPEx, a technology market place and brokerage platform, is designed to facilitate the transfer and deployment of new LCTs in developing Asia.

Urban water supply and use have a large energy impact. Rising energy use and cost also pose signficant risks to the water sector. Better understanding and management of the links between water and energy could help countries formulate a sustainable, whole-system approach that would ensure water and energy security and resiliency.

Advancing budget transparency requires collaborative efforts of various stakeholders. In Mongolia, there have been efforts to uphold transparency, including the participation of citizens in the monitoring of public funds.

Indonesia has a wealth of experience in advocating for Freedom of Information, details of which are discussed in this presentation.

The Open Government Partnership (OGP) has a set of mechanics and eligibility criteria that countries who wish to join should comply with. This presentation outlines the actions collectively taken by the members of the OGP.
