<p>This book analyzes the experiences of energy, sustainability and resilience issues from different Asian countries and puts forward a futuristic vision of an energy sector for sustained development. Energy is at the core of development, but in energy generation, there are severe environmental implications in many cases. This clearly affects development and causes significant challenges to sustainability. Climate change and disasters have an effect on energy infrastructures and also make significant impacts on humans in terms of both shocks and stresses. Therefore, it is extremely important to understand the linkage of energy, sustainability and resilience. Asia is a hotspot of climate change and disasters, suffering from severe damages to the energy infrastructure of the countries there. At the same time, being a core of world development trajectories, Asia produces and consumes more energy in different sectors than any other part of the world. Also, however, Asia serves as a core region of innovative ideas in energy and related sectors.</p>

<p>Rajib Shaw is a professor in the Graduate School of Media and Governance at Keio University, Japan. He is also the senior fellow of the Institute of Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) Japan and the chairperson of the Sustainable Environment and Ecological Development Society (SEEDS) Asia and the Church World Service (CWS) Japan, two Japanese NGOs. He is also a co-founder of a Delhi (India)-based social entrepreneur startup, the Resilience Innovation Knowledge Academy (RIKA). Earlier, he was the executive director of the Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) and was a professor at Kyoto University. His expertise includes disaster governance, community-based disaster risk management, climate change adaptation, urban risk management, and disaster and environmental education. Professor Shaw was the chair of the United Nations Science Technology Advisory Group (STAG) for disaster risk reduction and currently is the co-chair of the Asia Pacific Scientific and Technical Advisory Group (AP-STAG). </p>
<p>Kampanart Silva is a researcher at the National Energy Technology Center (ENTEC) under the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), Thailand. His research focuses on enhancing the resilience of the energy and transportation infrastructure and equipping them with climate adaptation capacity. He has been making efforts to put energy and transport resilience into practice and had the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Energy Resilience Assessment Guideline adopted by the ASEAN Committee on Science, Technology, and Innovation (COSTI). He is now an alternate representative from Thailand to the ASEAN Sub-Committee on Sustainable Energy Research (SCSER) and was one of the founding members of the ASEAN Network on Nuclear Power Safety Research (ASEAN NPSR) when he was working as a nuclear scientist at the Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology (TINT). </p>
<p>Nuwong Chollacoop is currently a director of the Low Carbon Energy Research Group at the National Energy Technology Center (ENTEC) with his h-index of 21 from over 100 publications in SCOPUS. He worked on transport biofuel at the National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC) under the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) from his graduation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2004, to 2009. At MIT, he received the Green Talents Award 2009 from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany. In 2017, his continuous work on biofuel on B10 (10% biodiesel blend with diesel) with the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE), Thailand, resulted in the revised national standard of biodiesel (B100) and B10. </p>
