This year, SAYEF will be held in Manila following the Philippines’ 2026 ASEAN Chairship, with the theme “Youth for Energy Security and Catalyst for Accessibility in Southeast Asia”.
The Southeast Asia Youth Energy Forum (SAYEF) is a flagship regional youth forum organized by Youth for Energy Southeast Asia (Y4E-SEA). SAYEF will bring together youth, young professionals, academics, policymakers, industry leaders, and civil society actors from across Southeast Asia to exchange ideas and co-create solutions for the region’s energy and climate future.
The first edition of SAYEF was held in Bali in 2023, during Indonesia’s 2023 ASEAN Chairmanship, with key ideas and recommendations presented directly to the ASEAN Energy Ministers. Y4E-SEA organized the second edition of SAYEF in Kuala Lumpur in 2025, during Malaysia’s 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship, with the conference and related events convening over 2,000 participants and adoption of the first Southeast Asia Youth Declaration on Energy and Climate Action.
SAYEF provides a platform for knowledge-sharing, policy dialogue, and innovation through expert panel discussions and workshops, and networking opportunities. The forum serves as a platform for youth to voice their vision for a just, clean and sustainable energy future in Southeast Asia, while empowering them with the knowledge and skills to deliver.
