Last January 21, The Climate Reality Project Philippines held a one-day conference tackling pertinent issues surrounding renewable energy (RE) transition in the country, centering discussions around the DOE’s Green Energy Option Program (GEOP).
The Climate Reality Project Philippines, in partnership with the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), recently held the second leg of Choosing Renewables: Information Campaign on the Green Energy Option Program (GEOP) and other Voluntary Renewable Energy Mechanisms in Tagbilaran, Bohol.
Participants included local power distribution utility companies, government officials, and business owners, whose interest in renewable energy (RE) was evident during the series of talks.
12 years after Super Typhoon Yolanda wreaked havoc in the island of Leyte, the students of Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) still remember experiencing the devastations of climate change firsthand.
During Klima Eskwela: Climate Science, Arts, and Action at their campus on November 27-28, the students shared the many ways Yolanda changed their perspective on the climate crisis.
In an unprecedented show of unity at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, more than 80 countries from across the global north and south have joined forces to demand what should have been established decades ago—a comprehensive roadmap to phase out fossil fuels.
Despite a global hope for stronger climate action, the 30th UN Climate Conference (COP30) ended without securing an explicit callout to phase out fossil fuels. As global climate negotiations remain slow to push for a total fossil fuel phaseout, climate change is sure to continue worsening– the adverse impacts of which are greatly felt in the Philippines.
Days before 30th Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Climate (UNFCCC) also known as COP30 in Belém, Brazil, The Climate Reality Project Philippines hosted a self-organized dialogue on the Global Ethical Stocktake (GES) harnessing the voices of leaders in Southeast Asia, and our collective power towards climate action.
Entitled Connect, Care, Commit: this event was also supported by Climate Reality Indonesia and AktivAsia. The event aimed to localize the GES by fostering a space of reflection among Southeast Asian advocates within the Climate Reality Project network.
Its first stop was at Clark, Pampanga, held at Quest Plus Conference Center last October 28.
