(https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2026.109377) How can South and Southeast Asia — home to over 2.62 billion people and one of the fastest-growing energy demand centers in the world — design credible, equitable, and 1.5°C-aligned energy transition pathways? This paper presents the first systematic, PRISMA-based review of 97 peer-reviewed energy system modeling studies (2000–2025) across 15 South and Southeast Asian countries. It maps how nine core modeling frameworks — OSeMOSYS,

How can a fast-growing Global South economy meet its development aspirations, deliver Decent Living Standards (DLS) for all, and remain consistent with a 1.5°C pathway — without getting locked in the long-term high-carbon pathway or through over dependence on uncertain negative emission technologies? This paper introduces the SPINE (Service Provision Imagined with No Emissions) model — SPINE-BD, the first application of this decomposition-based scenario framework, developed a

Global plastic production has increased from 2 tonnes to 450 million tonnes in the past 70 years and is projected to increase rapidly. Plastic waste leaks into water bodies, rivers, oceans, and land, while structures like drainages or dams are harming the environment and food security, and contributing to the severity of extreme events like floods and waterlogging. Using a framework, this paper maps comparative progress towards the circular plastic economy (CPE) in three Asia
