This paper examines the policies of the ASEAN member countries under the influence of the energy transition and climate change. The object of research is the energy sector of the ASEAN countries, in particular Indonesia and Vietnam. The main purpose of this article is to provide a brief overview of the development of green energy in Southeast Asian countries, implemented as part of joint decarbonization policies and initiatives within the framework of ASEAN membership, using the example of two dynamically developing countries, Indonesia and Vietnam, which face the need to balance their economic growth with energy security and green initiatives. The objectives of the study are to study the approaches of countries to the introduction of renewable and alternative energy, to consider the main government programs for the support and development of the industry, and to evaluate efforts to achieve climate standards. The key vectors of changes in the energy policy of Indonesia and Vietnam are identified, as well as the main problems of implementing initiatives for the ASEAN countries are formulated. National decarbonization strategies, including adaptation to renewable energy, are being considered. The methodology and research methods have been compiled by comparative and statistical methods, the work uses data from Russian and foreign scientists. The conclusion is drawn about the gradual transition of Indonesia and Vietnam to low-carbon energy, subject to the growing importance of the environmental agenda, but not yet dominant in terms of the priority of energy accessibility development. Special attention is paid to national plans for energy development, including abandoning the use of coal, an energy resource so popular in these countries, and attracting international financing to newly developing industries. Despite national policies on the energy transition, its development is slow due to economic and political constraints. The priority of the two countries is given to improving energy accessibility, which includes the development of non-”environmentally friendly” hydrocarbons, which highlights the uneven transition of Indonesia and Vietnam to low-carbon energy. For the further development of ASEN, the transition of Indonesia and Vietnam to a new generation of energy will play a crucial role in meeting the international agenda.
