We’re pleased to announce The Climate Reality Project Asia, a renewed and more unified Branch based in the Philippines; bringing together Climate Reality Leaders and partners from Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and beyond. We are connected more than ever not just by borderlines, but by a shared commitment to building a healthier future rooted in justice.
Every Filipino family wants energy security, affordable electricity, and safe communities. President Marcos Jr.’s 2026 SONA spoke to these hopes. The Climate Reality Project Philippines recognizes the administration’s efforts to respond to the energy crisis, improve public transport, and strengthen disaster preparedness. But in a country pummeled by climate impacts, no explicit mention of the climate crisis and climate commitments was made.
In the grip of a struggling energy system and deepening climate threats, The Climate Reality Project Philippines gathered young leaders from across the country last July 7-9 for the first ever edition of REalTalk Youth— a hands-on workshop that honed their skills to develop community-based renewable energy (RE) programs.
Last May 21-23, The Climate Reality Project Philippines, in partnership with the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (ICSC), gathered transport planners and representatives across Asia to discuss best practices and pertinent issues surrounding sustainable mobility in the region.
Entitled, #MOVETOGETHER: Regional Exchange and Workshop on Sustainable Urban Mobility and Placemaking in Southeast Asia, the event was supported by the Clean Mobility Collective Southeast Asia (CMC SEA), TRANSCEND (Transformative Actions for Climate and Ecological Protection and Development) Project, and the Local Government of Antipolo City.
Iran is approximately 7000 kilometers away from the Philippines. But an ongoing war in that part of the world rattles ours almost immediately.
This conflict in West Asia (or Middle East to the Western world) has disrupted crude oil shipments to the Philippines, a country that imports about 98% of it to power almost everything from commerce to agriculture. A lower supply of crude oil spells oil and gas spikes across the board.
Last February 26, The Climate Reality Project Philippines held a two-day ‘Klima Eskwela: Climate Science, Arts, and Action’ workshop at Pangasinan State University (PSU) Main Campus in Lingayen, Pangasinan.
